@Lustig Andrei,
You're welcome.

I don't always agree with his choices on top caption entries that he receives, not that I see his mail - I think some of ours beat them sideways from Sunday. I do notice that ours in general could be more tautly worded. But it doesn't matter, they sound like us.

Mine are never the best and that's okay, some a2kers are terrific at this. I wish we could send in our efforts, but then someone might say "no! you stole that from ossobuco!!" I suppose if I ever send one in, I should explain...

On the blog itself, I've read most of it, just not the entries from the last couple of months. He has a lot of interesting things to say about life with humor; I highly recommend a read through. (Am I the last person you know to use semicolons?)

If you really want to hear the meaning of life, you'd best be lying down.

I've got an office on East 48th, but the feng shui here is so much better.

Welcome to the summit! Now get yourself on the couch and tell me why you were crazy enough to make the climb.
