Hi, I'm like Reg, computer programmer and caterer, but instead of meat
products, I have a bed & breakfast. I mostly come in and lurk when waiting
for guests to arrive -- the rest of the time I'm running too fast.

Hmm, birds of a feather. I'd wager we have the same
motivations for what we do. One line of work is for
money and the next, well, it's for other things

What's on your menu? Some of the best meals I've ever
had have been at B&B's.
