well wishes over due

Let's see, when last we spoke, a worn down Texan was in the white house, mortgage companies were giving away zero down $500,000 loans to anyone with a pulse, Merrill Lynch was managing my money, Chrylser was manufacturing automobiles, unemployment was steady, money was flowing.

It's good to be back, did I miss anything?

Time to start anew, recipes are figured, experiences had, time to share and indulge.

But first..I'd be remiss to not wish you all:
Happy Halloween
Happy Thanksgiving
Merry Christmas
Happy New Year
and
Happy Valentine's Day!

Now that ya'll are glowing from all of my well wishing...let's continue shall we?
