Ob. dining comment: Mark Miller of Coyote Cafe/Red Sage fame is scheduled
to attend a tasting and book signing this Saturday the 20th, from 7-9pm at
the Bookstall, located in Potomac MD at the intersection of River and Falls
Roads.  If you're coming in on River Rd. from 495, it's in the very first
shopping center on your left.
