JD my brother, I am very sorry for your loss. I lost my Mom just about a year ago as well. Dad went about four years earlier. It really, really sucks, but it is part of life unfortunatley. We all will have to deal with it sooner or later. You are in my thoughts and I hope we see each other again someday. I hope the cooking is coming along as well. I still want to see that heavy metal cooking show!
