Thank you. <3

It's been a trip. The worst thing that has happened, but also the best. It has definitely given me a new perspective on life, that's for sure.

My favorite side effect is that I now love all foods. Prior to this, I was a rather picky eater. Now I love everything!

I feel like there's a burntsushi joke hiding in there somewhere.

All the best Andrew.

    There is actually haha. I've always hated sushi. And sushi is now on my shortlist to try again. I can't wait.

    (My handle comes from graffiti I found on the booth of a hot dog stand in Worcester MA called Coney Island[1]. I thought it was a cute oxymoron and adopted it on a silly whim. I only later learned that some sushi is indeed cooked.)

      Man, the origin of your screen name is the same level of lore as Rust being named after fungi, and not corrosion. Love it! Glad you're in better health again. Been using your software for nearly 10 years spanning before and after my career started. Thanks for all the work you do in open source.

      Cheers

I've had some experience with situations like what you experienced in my family, and I just want to say how glad I am to hear that you had people in your corner to help you out when you needed it the most.
