Thanks for your thoughts, prayers, and kind comment on my blog. It meant a lot to me.

I'm getting ready to jump back in the blogging waters.

I was in the car with my wife when the story about the basil blight came on, and she laughed at me because I turned up the radio and shh'ed her. I'm such a food geek, but I'm proud of it.
