Dear 40th Street Black,

What a bravura take on breakfast! I recognized your inimitable style even before I got to the end of the column. Right now, my wife is visiting her family in Germany, but I'm going to save this for her delectation when she returns next week. Have a great day!

Best wishes,

Thanks, Dave. I appreciate your note. "Recognized your inimitable style" is a much, much nicer way of saying "I counted 27 semi-colons by Terry's third illustration." Hope your wife returns soon and safely, although the mind reels thinking of what kind of homecooked breakfasts she may be enjoying in Germany.

Best,

40th Street Black
