Hi Janis,

Not surprising with moving to a new place. There's still lots of Raleigh
we've not explored, and probably a good bit of Wake Forest. But, we've
found lots of good places to eat. (G)

Slim chance, depends on how much longer we stay in the area after Steve
graduates. I'm not due for any appointments over there until May but if
we're moving, I may try to see the pulmonology doctor before we go.

This can be "blow your doors off" spicy as I understand. (G)

It'll be here before you know it.

And you always find something new to try--and maybe get the recipe for.

 JK> Interesting :)  Not sure I've seen those.

Regular Milky Way minis we'd bought for trick or treaters but didn't
have that many kids that year. Our first 3 years we had less than 30 per
year; this year we had 60.

 JK> I don't think Ithaca has a trader joe's but I could be wrong there :)

They're slowly spreading east. When we were in HI, every time we went to
AZ we'd hit them up.

Yes, especially in countries where the law enforcement in something like
that is less than top notch.............
