I haven’t had a really fresh bagel in years.

A couple of things. First, here’s an adorable photo of my sister’s grandson, 3½-year-old Tyler, modeling a brand new haircut. I know people always tend to say these things about their relatives, but seriously ... isn’t he just about the cutest little guy you’ve ever seen?

Breaking news. A brand new Central Market opens to the public tomorrow at Preston and Royal in Dallas. It’s slightly smaller than their other store on Lovers Lane but much closer to home ... and the new one includes a KOSHER DEPARTMENT, a genuine NEW YORK DELI and STORE-MADE BAGELS AND BIALYS. Oy, I can hardly believe it! Even though Dallas might be the most un-Jewish major city in the United States, Preston and Royal is at the heart of a very wealthy area — a neighborhood called “Preston Hollow” — with a substantial, mostly-Orthodox Jewish population and a couple of snooty synagogues.

I told Sam I want to check out the new store next week at a weird time of day, maybe around 9 a.m., providing I can find somewhere to park because Preston and Royal is an insanely congested intersection with a huge, set-back strip mall on every corner. Under the circumstances, it’s entirely possible I’ll never get any closer to Central Market than the photo on this page. Seriously.

And now it’s time for a hot shower and tonight’s episode of “Hardcore Pawn.” Thanks for stopping by. Live and be well.
