I just wrote a full newsletter and then accidentally deleted it when I was trying to edit it. This is the second time I’ve done that in the past 6 weeks, I think I’m not supposed to edit things.

But I’m not talking about an order-whatever-you-want kind of restaurant, more of a Chez Panisse, set menu kind of restaurant, where each day has its own little menu that is related to the one before or after it.

I’m not quite sure how to start. This is not a dramatic story, it might not even be a story at all. Rather, perhaps, an acknowledgment, an admission, that I have not been able to write, despite my best intentions. This fact has been eating me up for months, taking up more and more of my energy.My whole family was sick for an entire month straight and during my bout of bed-ridden fever, all I could think about was this newsletter.
