@ Kate from SB – Hey, thanks for introducing me to Hedwig! That was a life changing revelation . . .

@ Helen – Wow that must have been really cool to watch. I’d love to see a more traditional reading of it!

@ Courtney – Mmm, Whole Foods. And also, Thank you!!! ;-)

@ April – Excellent! Great minds . . .

@ Gabriel Nagmay – Please don’t tell me that Brian Greene was in Portland and I missed it. Is that what you are saying??! Nooooo!!!

@ Cary M – That book sounds right up my alley, thanks for the rec!

@ Kathryn – You’re lucky, a job is a wonderful thing to be enamored with! That’s a rare delight.

I thought Aristophanes recited it in the Symposium, but Plato wrote it? I could definitely be wrong!

@ Staar – Love your list! Especially orange oil and red shoes. =)

@ Kelly – Thank you! And you’re welcome! And I totally agree, so much of the advice I give is applicable to myself. Great reminders.

@ Sara – I know right?! And nyuk nyuk, that was actually really funny. =D

@ Tenise Rae – Yes, baking soda is, I think, the greatest substance on the face of the planet. Unfortunately I just learned that Arm & Hammer tests on animals! =( So I have to find a new brand. Not sure if this matters to you, but I though I’d at least share the news.

@ Minna – That’s funny, mine started out as all food stuff too. I thought maybe it’s because I’m on bed rest and my life sort of revolves around and is punctuated by food these days, but maybe that’s just natural. Food is where we derive so much of our pleasure from.

It sounds like you are working so hard right now darlin! I hope you’re taking good care of yourself. It sure sounds like an awesome adventure that you’re on. =)

And thanks, I’m so glad Bonzai brings joy to so many people. =)

@ Lisatlantic – Nope, haha. I haven’t actually ever seen that one (we don’t have cable). But I sure have heard about it . . . eek!
