A eulogy to chocolate and coffee...

Thank you so much for everyone's donations to my mom's fund. Each little bit helps, and we continue to feel blessed for every dollar that has been given. We are still a ways away from our targeted donation goal. Please feel free to pass this along to any friends and family that you feel I might have missed.

My mom is recovering well and, aside from not being able to eat certain foods, feels almost totally normal. If the surgery hadn't saved her life, I'm not sure anything would be worth giving up chocolate and coffee! More power to you, mom :)

I hope everyone is experiencing some degree of spring weather. It is running a bit late in Vermont, as in... totally absent!

I raise my coffee cup to each and everyone's good health!
