Adam -

Thank you for your kind words on my blog. I must say, you (& Matt & Jessica) took my weekend that extra step from just good to really great & memorable. Breakfast just isn't the same now - I go through the motions of course, but I've been ruined for all breakfasts now.

you know where to find me,

A.
