Lucky Man: A Warrior’s Journey

Any day of the year, you can read stories about the rise and fall of Hollywood actors. Alcohol, drugs, and messed-up relationships with lovers and directors are just a sample of the struggles in theatrical life. Don’t forget the internal struggles we all have as humans.

The Diary of Anne Frank at the Algonquin Arts Theatre

After coming to power, the Nazi Germany forced Anne Frank, a teenage girl from Frankfurt, and her family to flee to Amsterdam. With the eventual occupation of the city, the family went into hiding along with several others in a tiny apartment above a warehouse. The 13-year-old wrote in several journals that revealed a teenage girl’s horrors, dismay, and everyday emotions as she was stuck in captivity.

Best Caesar Salad in The World

Making perfect Caesar salad is not an art form but requires a top-notch recipe. On hand should be garden-fresh, hand-torn romaine lettuce and eggs, extra-virgin olive oil, whole peeled garlic, anchovies, and hand-grated imported Parmesan cheese. I’m confident you can find the other simple ingredients for the recipe I shared in any kitchen.
