We could mount four speakers at the corners of the theater and get exactly that same effect of being surrounded by the sound." Doug's brother is a deacon in the church, so maybe a full-scale taping can be arranged...
...usual bland stuff, enabling one to drink many cups. Water could be replenished faster, although this is not a kitchen for especial fire in the spicing. Blessedly, there is no music. Decor is minimal, which only shows off the Ta Chien work to better effect. The best of the fortune cookies tells us, "Wit is the salt of conversation, not the food."
