There are those days, those moments in life, when for no particular reason the senses are heightened and the commonplace becomes sublime.

Today was such a day. Kathy is the new cook downstairs. She made some meatlove which seriously tasted like it came straight from your mom's kitchen. It was made with love and confidence that doesn't always become the basic cook.

There are those who, deprived of physical beauty, develop a sincerity and beauty of spirit that seems to eclipse their appearance. They marry for love, stay married, and raise happy children who are quick to laugh and slow to judge. I hope Kathy stays. LUNCH is getting better everyday.
