1) You have no idea how many times in the last couple years that I've heard or read something about Bulgaria and perked up with an interest I never would have before reading your blog. (Viktor Krum was from BULGARIA?! No way!)

2) When extra coffee doesn't do it, that's a slump indeed. There's no way around it.

3) I still have your DaD's waffle recipe, which I think about every time I make any big breakfast. (Step 1: Drink coffee....)

Woo-hoo!
