Do you have the recipe for kringle? Maybe we can try it together, virtually-speaking. Figure skater for 10 years? That is probably the coolest life detail anyone could whip out of a back pocket (so to speak). @Mayberry: ;+)

"White is so elegant. We do colored." slayed me. Hope day 3 went better, if in fact you've reached day 3. Glad you like this. “White is so elegant. We do colored.” slayed me.
