It's suddenly summer. Our lower than normal temperatures of recent weeks has given way to the three dreaded H's: heat, haze, and humidity. It was pushing 95 today. At least it was sunny for Memorial Day weekend. We kicked off summer right with a cookout with friends and a trip to that summer staple: Rita's. I didn't know about Rita's delights until the girl filled me on the secret. It's a seasonal operation that serves up custards, gelati, shakes -- and its signature water ices. On a typical night you'll see people of all races and ages there--including more than a few soccer and little league teams.
