What a long, wet drive back home . . . at least my sister and Rachael rode with me and we could “bump” some “ill tunes.”

It’s the small things, but more especially the food, that make home worthwhile. I always get choked up when I’m giving a tour at school, and someone (usually the father, who has been heretofore silent) asks, “How’s the food?”

This usually comes after my spchiel about how the milk is from Vermont Hood plants, the breads are from Koffee Kup Bakery, the coffee is Green Mountain Coffee, etc. That’s how I try to circumnavigate the question. The honest answer would be something along the lines of, “Well, have you ever had a Lean Cuisine? Imagine eating Lean Cuisine for three meals a day, every day, for four years.” Of course, I can’t say that.

Even the pasta just isn’t the same. I mean, my mother’s no Italian bella hand-mixing her pasta. It’s from a box. But it isn’t mass-produced in a 15-gallon pot, so that makes it worth it.

Not too much to say. Mostly, this post is just to get my Feedburner (see top right-hand corner) to cross-post to Blogger. It’s just nice to have a mirror available. I’m also going to try to get this to automatically cross-post to my Facebook.

It’s almost Turkey Day . . .
