I got a great comment from a California fan*. He mentioned reading my website and my, I guess, off-beat take on life...as well as my food comentary. Putting the two together, I have an off-beat take on food. Life takes care of itself.

And so does death. The older you get the more funerals you go to. I haven't reached the point where I go to funerals for the lunch, but the lunch at the funeral yesterday was excellent. Saurkraut and sausage and Au Gratin potatos. The lovely, gentle, woman who lost her husband of 43 years much too soon, mentioned that he would have loved it. When we die we aren't measured by what we take with us because we don't take anything. Our life is measured by what we leave behind. I hope my send off is as warm and loving as the one yesterday. I wonder if I could get them to do hot beef sandwiches for me. Or pizza. Whatever it is, if it is a cold-cut tray, I'll come back and haunt someone.

*This is not a dismissive word for me. What a wonderful thing it is to be appreciated for what we do. And quite honestly, there are fans I like a lot better than some friends and certainly better than some family.
