Glad to hear it. Seriously, I did wonder. I have a recollection of
thanking folks for my birthday wishes - but also trying to include a
food-related comment or reference or something. And some days, I don't
remember what the heck day it is. And because I make noise occasionally
about the off topic crap that is entirely too prevalent here, I was
getting myself ready to be pounded. :-\

OB food: I had an amazing mixed berry lemon scone at coffee today with
a dear friend. The restaurant is Bread & Chocolate on St. Paul's Grand
Avenue. It was a good choice.
