Back to Business

HBO: Sopranos - Episode 53, Season 5

It's back! There's no better way to cap off a weekend than by watching Paulie pop a cap into a waiter who wants a bigger tip. And, as if last night's episode weren't enough after the long layoff, next week's episode of The Sopranos looks even better. I just hope things between Tony and Carmela improve enough that she starts making Sunday dinner again. The idea of everyone having to suffer through Janice's cooking once a week turns the stomach.

Prior to the big show, we took a quick trip (two hours in the car, two hours in the concert hall, two more hours in the car) to Sterling, Illinois to see the last road concert of the Augustana Symphonic Band's spring tour. What a strange thing it was to realize that I recognized exactly two people on stage--and one of them was the conductor! On the bright side, "Irish Tune" has a whole new meaning when you've been recognized as one of the alumni in the room. And Sterling is home to one of the few locations of Arthur's Deli. That place still makes a damn good sandwich.

Five days until we head down to the land of barbecue and breakfast tacos!
