and a well rested morning to you too.

I love how moms and dads always know what to say to make you feel better.

"It's not so much a loss of self but a gain of dimension. The trick is the definition. You may not always have a choice in the priority of the day but the YOU that is present is what makes it all happen."

"You" will never disappear; you are reflected and multiplied in all those you love, and who so love you."

p.s. breakfast did help. It was the best eggs benedict in the history of eggs benedicts.

Just thought you might like to know a bit about the "Benedict";

The classic history. A Wall Street banker named LeGrand Benedict, a regular patron of Manhattan's ritzy Delmonico's restaurant, complained that he was bored the menu. The chef's response was this dish. A variant origin myth credits, instead of the chef, the Delmonico maitre d' and Mrs. Benedict. The name of the chef, and indeed any real facts about the genesis of eggs Benedict, are lost to history. The new Joy of Cooking (Scribner, 1997) dates the dish in the 1920s, and says the original base may have been toast.

Eggs Benedict are not:

*The culinary indulgence of Benedictine monks.
*Named after the Revolutionary War traitor for the dish's use of Canadian bacon and English muffins.
*The name of a South African Web design firm. (Well, it is, but who cares?)

Now you can impress friends and influence wait staff! Bon Appetite!
