OK, this is weird:

Yesterday afternoon, FEDEX rings my door and places a rather large box on the porch. I open it to find manna from heaven: North Carolina pork BBQ, collard greens, black eyed peas, hushpuppies, and squash from the OINK EXPRESS! Seem that Bill's brother, upon hearing that Bill is trying to eat by mouth now, decided to tempt him with food that he dearly loves. OINK EXPRESS is a mail order system with King's Barbeque...an institution in Kinston, NC for 60 years, very near the NC coast where Bill grew up.

It worked...Bill was able to eat some of his beloved food tonight..only three weeks from his last treatment.

So, everyone keep talking BBQ...you may have a ring at your door!
