Sorry Richard, Vermont is fairly small compared to the rest of the world in case no one had informed you, ha ha. Oops, now everyone is mad at me. Guess I've been so used to driving long distances or flying I consider 100 or so miles nothing. After all, it takes more than 5 hours to go from one side of Ga to another. Well, anyway we could find and accetable route and try something? Just a thought.

Say hi from me too! And, Richard, how's your job going lately?

I'm glad to know he's doing well. Say hi for me sometime if you think of it please.

Brian is OK. He has tons of challenges like us all and I guess the reality is that we are all OK, but without a lot of margin. His oldest son is doing work on documentaries in San Francisco and Brian has three more boys at home. Brian and his wife, Deborah, are full of energy and great to talk with about books, community issues and everything. Brian has a challenging job, in challenging times for his company. It's a small company where everyone is close with each other (that means they drink cheap beer together on Fridays). So there you have it. I too wish that he would offer a few words, but I can assure you that he is maxed out. He cancelled lunch on Friday and I forced my way into his kitchen on Saturday. He was too kind to throw me out.

I agree. Wish he'd put in a few words once in a while.

So how is Brian these days? I'm glad you have contact with him. It was sweet of him to set us up here but sad that he doesn't have the time to come and play.

Roland Vermont is a big state. Where exactly would we do a cook fest?

Hey all, back in Savannah tonight. Tending to the liaison part of the job. Things are busy. Trying to keep up with all the little demands of the clients and giving each the same attention is getting harder but I like it. Have to hire more people but we didn't want to until we could sustain them permanently. When I visit in Vermont sometime we all should get together for a cook fest or something. Or have a dine around a few nights. Would be fun. I love to cook but never complain when someone else offers. Had an awesome Italian creation tonight and finished with an authentic terimisu. Oh......so sleepy now.

Amazing fact of the day. I had dinner with Brian King this weekend and he said that there are more that 1,000,000 active blogs. Wow! Already known fact of the day- "man, can that guy cook!"

John, Check the listing in the Classmtes.com site. I believe she listed herself there.
