More good days than bad days, so I can't complain. Will you be putting
the video on your web site too? Congrats on the awards! You deserve them
and I am sure they were well earned!

What video? Actually I think I can post video files (though I'm not
sure about the .avi format my camera kicks out) but on my connection it
would take till hell freezes over.

How about if you videotape yoursef cooking? Then you can review the
tapes and figgur out what you did and how much of it you threw in.

Sounds like you're gonna be one busy star on too many media outlets.
Careful, or folks will get tired of seeing you.

Hope Sam enjoys her first fair. While you show her the wonders of
country living, I'll be caring for my Mom back at her house, since they
let her out on Sunday. Only 5 months for them to get her up and out of
there. And her roommate was asking about that window bed....

Dying of overexposure? :-) Nah, I'm not worried. It will be over in
7 days, the Gedney folks are promoting Blueberry and Cherry Jams this
Fair, and Beth Campbell (the BlueberryJam Lady) and I are just making
the rounds for the PR folks. It's just how it works. Besides, they're
different audiences.

And thanks for that. I've already grabbed it and e-mailed it to my "home"
