I, too, was "somewhat present" at that Jonifest (no cracks from Paz, please) and will attest that the cookbook is one that deserves greater distribution. But I forget why that didn't happen. Did Marian and Jerry and the others for whom it was a labor of love just burn out? Too many lost little gray cells - please refresh my memory.
As for Kakki's observation that Joni's comment testifies to the creativity and talent of the people on this list, I feel moved to add that it isn't as if we don't get regular proof of that. On this list, on disc, in person at Fests and informal gatherings - time and time again I am blown away by the intelligence of this community, as well as the humor that many of our members bring to their wry observations of life and love. Add to that the passion, the caring and the positive spirit that so many members bring to living and you have a positively addictive mix. By golly, I'm high as I write this!
