Hi Ken,

It has been my experience that over time my taste buds came back completely (saliva not). During the long period of time that I could not eat the spicy and acidic foods, I acquired a real appreciation for the white sauce foods. Now that I can again taste everything as well as before, I actually have a new and much wider range of tastes that I can really enjoy. Takes me longer to order now because more foods taste good to me....

Is that the north end of Vashon Island? with the most beautiful Mt. Rainier in the background. Quite a different view than what you can find in the Southwest........

Peace
Jack
