Harvest Pizzeria in Dublin, Ohio

Recently John and Jackie took us to Harvest Pizzeria in Dublin, Ohio.  It is their favorite pizza place.  I know I’ve been writing about a lot of places to eat lately.  I have several projects to write about, but I don’t want to write posts on them until they are finished.  These projects are filling …

Parnassus on Wheels by Christopher Morley

I recently finished the book “Parnassus on Wheels” by Christopher Morley and now I am recommending it to everybody.  The book was first published in 1917, but I had never heard of it.  I was reading “The Bookshop:  A History of the American Bookstore” by Evan Friss and it mentioned “Parnassus on Wheels.”  Being intrigued …
