lil, I really enjoyed this post because it forced me to consider what is perhaps my most taken for granted sense. I'm sorry for your loss and I appreciate the humor with which you can relay something as insensitive as someone telling you your "lucky" for not being able to smell something. That's like saying someone is lucky they're deaf just because a bad song is on the radio.

I just came back from a espresso shop called Jet Fuel. I asked the waitress about two containers sitting next to the sugar. I said, "Which one is the cinnamon and which one is the chocolate?" She said, "You can Just smell it."

Sigh.

p.s. I liked seeing the picture of you in Michigan.

Thanks lil, it was a really nice trip. It's nice to be home though, vomit and all ;-)
