This is the post you need to read. I first started reading Rossi directly after September 11 – her posts about cooking for the crew in Ground Zero were riveting, awful, healing. You’ll see what I mean when I read it.

Thanks Sheila, I spent a while reading her posts from Sept 01; wow. Me thinks I’ll be reading her daily as well.
BTW, I too LOVE The Office! Your comments are spot. On. Again. My wife teases me that the BBC is like porn to me; she doesn’t watch it, therefore I don’t when we’re together, HOWEVER, whenever shes out of town, that’s all I watch. She tells me that most men watch porn when their wives are out of town, but not me, I watch British comedies! LOL, have a great day!
rude – hahahahaha!!
I can’t get enough of those British comedies myself! But I live alone, so I can watch ’em whenever I want. Yay!
