Onwards indeed, Gilles! In fact, I think that’s the only direction that I know how to travel.

Love received with gratitude, Randall!

Might not be mint, exactly, but there are certainly upsides that they don’t tell you about until you enter the inner circle.

Thank you, Brian. You have my permission to enjoy a delicious beer or cocktail in The Pearl District and pretend it’s Bristol. The similarities are many!

I was going to send you to the New Old Lompoc but I just learned that it has closed down. That makes me sad 🙁

Thank you, Marjorie, for your kind words. I look forward to reading more comments!

TIP: I put all the posts that **I** like best on the front page to make them easy to find!

I think helpful emails are allowed if I ask for them, Susan! And your emails were wonderfully helpful. Thanks again!

My husband’s doctor (German) gives two thumbs up to beer also RC. Beer helps us tell the stories with zest.

LOL that I read these insightful comments on what’s helpful to you after I write you a bunch of helpful emails to you.

I vote for the upside-down MRI. And for living a rich and full life.
