‘Play Dates’ is funny stuff
You know you've done it. At least once in your life, and hopefully only in early grade school, you slipped someone of romantic interest one of those notes with a heart on it that read, "Will you be my girlfriend (or boyfriend)?" and had two check boxes, one for "Yes" and one for "No." And if your intended filled in her or his own box with "Maybe," well, it was just maddening.

Truth in the corner of your eye
Now, I don't credit fortune cookies with any more power to predict the future than I do horoscopes. However, I always enjoy reading both, if only to see just how far off the mark they are, or just how vague they can be … you know, vague enough so that those fools of us who read them might imagine there is some truth there and actually think they were written by wise wizards in tune with the universal vibration.

‘Wonderettes’ are wonderful
Four talented actress/singers, one costume change, one slight set change and a whole lot of great music and lighthearted fun - that's the short story for "The Marvelous Wonderettes." The long story is … well, there isn't one.
Russ Briley Wine-ing
This column originally ran in the Ventura County Star on June 25, 2011. A little more than a year ago my wife and I attended an art/wine festival. It had a silent auction that featured many items - including some pretty great wines. I came across a 1975 Chateau Mouton Rothschild, a first-growth Bordeaux from France. The minimum bid was $175. A few years back I would have kept walking and thinking to myself "what ...
