Nat Decants is Canadian?

With a last name of Maclean, of course she's a Canadienne. How do you think she got the money to pay for all that wine she reviews? It's not like she's one of the Scotland Macleans. That'd probably be McLean anyway.

I'm shocked. But thankful for your support and prayers.

If only I had some of Nat's money, then I could write you a check that even Sally Strothers would be envious of. Maybe I could come down with a case of psychosomatic beri-beri or leprosy and get an appointment with your wife and she could "treat" me and charge Blue Cross but then give you the money instead of buying more stethoscopes or latex probing gloves with it.

-Eden (and although I'm abstaining from the prayer thing out of deference to Dresner, I'm happy to lend you all the support you need)

My understanding is that leprosy was the Patagonian Toothfish of the disease world, and has since been rebranded. I believe we now correctly refer to it as "Chilean Sea Extremities Fall-Off Inconvenience."

Just FYI.

Chris, in some way it must be kind of a relief. How many years has this layoff been looming?

Anyway I'm also praying for you. Me, Beaukour and Dressner are all praying our heads off.

If things get rough you can always come up and help with the maple next month. 6,000 taps! Wear warm boots.

Best,
Kay

Kay, 6,000 taps? That's awesome! Good going.
Chris, you should seriously consider Kay's offer. It could give you a whole new perspective. Not to mention you would get to work with Kay Bixler. And then, come April there will be a lot of work around here that I could use some help with.

Jeff, it's my neighbors operation, I just help. But, for the most part, two of us did the whole job last year.

Chris, we'll wrap the rags on your feet with plastic bags, it will be fine and you'll be all toughened up for April in Canada. Then in the summer you can work the farmer's markets.

Welcome to your new career in agriculture!

Another voice in the chorus. Really sucks. I here there's money to be made in the resveratrol biz.

You get those emails too?

Get them? I've started sending them! Where do you think yours came from? Romania?!

Oh, how I miss making maple syrup! 6000 taps is a TON of taps, though!

3 taps = 1 lb..

Good to know, thanks.
