Hi Robert!

I am sitting at the library typing this. I finally had time to come downtown. I feel like I have been living in a cave with no internet, no cable, and no land line phone. It's amazing how accustomed to these things we can get, and then when we don't have them we feel so lost. But I've been in this situation before, so I can deal with it. I hope.

I too, have been in a line at the store when another opened up and someone else jumped into it first. I have also had times where I was only getting one or two things and the person in front of me let me go ahead of them. I also remember once when my son was little and he had to have a new backpack, but we had to put it back when my groceries were too much and we couldn't afford it, and then the person behind us bought it for him! Little things like that can really make a person's day, both for the giver and the receiver. I will never forget that day.

I am so looking forward to seeing your new shows! They sound totally over the top! You really seem like you have fun doing these shows, and we love to watch you go crazy when things get messed up, but you always rise to the challenge and get it done!

Keep it coming!

Your forever fan
Laura

Yes Robert - we do live in a selfish, self-centered era! How true it is that - "It's not about me"! It's about what we can do to help others. You have certainly helped a lot more people than you realize! God uses us in ways we have no idea He does!!

Can't wait to see you back on TV. Looking forward to meeting you in person someday! Rewards to come to those who patiently wait and stand up for what is right!!

Oh, Robert, how right you are.
How often our modern society seems to promote selfishness as a virtue. And not even individual rights, which is a principle that has merit, but merely self-centeredness and the desire for self-promotion. Rudeness seems to be the order of the day, and anyone who objects is labeled as being "oversensitive."

It doesn't cost anything to be polite. On the contrary, it improves life for all of us. Let us all try to be a little bit genteel in our dealings with others.

And I will have to try that beef--it looks fantastic!

The Williamsburg episode is one of your best, with the bit about the knives really topping it off. That was food the way I like it, simple and real, without all the fluff of a lot of today's "trends". Trends come and go, but food like that is forever.
