Just remember that above all those gray clouds, there still is blue sky. From Orygun, where it rains so much in the winter that we must constantly remind ourselves that the sky is still blue somewhere. Hang in there, Leaffan. I’m sending you hugs. ---

Tell me about your favorite comfort foods. I am a wicked good cook and I would love to prepare an online menu with recipes made just for you. I’ve been known to send overnight care packages at my own expense. It would be no trouble at all. 🙂 ---

Well, that’s a heck of an offer, but honestly I’m a pretty decent cook myself, and I like just about anything. We, since separating from my wife I have not had a single meal that consisted of meat, potatoes, and a vegetable. That’s pretty much all we ever had here: too boring. Pasta, seafood, chili, stir fries, rice, and the like are preferable. ---

If you were here, we could share a little green and play video games until the break of dawn. As a native New Yorker, I can tell you, you are presently missing out on our fabulous New Jersey corn and the ripe, fresh peaches my girls picked this weekend twenty minutes from my house. My beloved Brooklyn may do zoos, boardwalks and views of Manhattan quite well but the produce around here alone was worth the move. ---

Go n-éirí an bóthar leat. Go raibh an chóir ghaoithe i gcónaí leat. Go dtaitní an ghrian go bog bláth ar do chlár éadain, go gcuire an bháisteach go bog mín ar do ghoirt. Agus go gcasfar le chéile sinn arís, go gcoinní Dia i mbosa a láimhe thú. May your journey succeed, May the wind be in your favour, May the sun shine gently on you, May it rain softly on your land, And until we meet again, May God hold you safe in his arms. ---
