Thanks for sharing that since I had missed that one. I was stunned by the infomercial segment of it touting his rice pot cookbook full of recipies he will never eat. He seemed so at home in the kitchen and preparing food that I just cannot understand why he eats alone upstairs, separate from his wife in the downstair dining room as they showed on Oprah. As the Esquire interview noted
[quote]He eats through a G-tube � he's fed with a liquid paste, suspended in a bag from an IV pole, through a tube in his stomach. He usually eats in what used to be the library, on the brownstone's second floor. (It has five stories, including a gym on the top floor and a theater � with a neon marquee � in the basement.) A single bed with white sheets has been set up among the books, down a hallway filled with Ebert's collection of Edward Lear watercolors.[/quote]

Still, he is inspiring. It was that sad scene of him alone with his PEG tube and gravity bag for most of his meals that made me buy a Vitamix so my wife and I could "eat" together.
That has been a real blessing so thanks Roger.
