Hi Gloria,

Thanks a bunch for your reply. Hehe no I am not writing a book or TV
script, I am not nearly creative enough for that heh. I guess I have
always had a love of bbq'ing ever since my Mom and Dad used to take me
out camping when I was a youngster in Vermont back in the 40's (am
really showing my age now heh). Back in those days, we would spend
many a summer vacation in the Bennington area, near Glastenbury
Mountain, and I can still vividly remember the freshly caught fish
frying on the campfire. I guess in some ways I am trying to replicate
those days somehow with my love of bbq'ing now.

Kind Regards and have a wonderful day,
Brian Anasta
