I've always enjoyed hearing Ed speak about cooking for and dining with
his wife. He clearly loves her as much now as ever.

There have been many discussions on RFC over the years involving table
settings and dinnerware. Ed doesn't need a special occasion to use the
"good china". He sets a nice table because a meal with his wife is
always a special time together. That shines through in his posts.
