Center Stage in Shelton to stage 'Joseph'

Performances will be Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. Feb. 9-24; Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Feb. 11, 18, and 25, and at 7 p.m. Feb. 22.

Seymour Pink to host Pink Night to Remember fundraiser

Recuperation journey: Chickening out?

At the risk of offending and/or losing friends I have to admit I just don't get wings. 

Not Paul McCartney's band of the same name from the '70s. I got them, and still do.

But the chicken wings that one eats. Everyone I know loves 'em.
Eating them just doesn't do it for me. Maybe I've never had the right kind.

I suppose I should venture to those restaurants in the Valley known for their fabulous wings and give them a try. 

Am I alone on this? I'm not a picky eater, really.
