I'm off the streets and out of the beerhalls. :-)
I've taught a couple preserving classes at church and have been involved
in some do-gooder work. Last weekend i spent a night with a high school
classmate and helped her become more comfortable with her (old) Mac.
She's a fantastic cook and fixed us a lovely roast chicken and a very
nice salad. I've been posting pics of food I've been involved with to
alt.binaries.food, mostly because it's easy to do. :-) She owns a
cookie company and sent me home with several packages of her biscotti
and some cookies. LaTwerp is a kick. I need to get my dotmac website
back up and current -- it's been down for about 9 months and I work on
it only sporadically. Say hey to Dave.
