Anne-Marie,

Do you really put that hyphen in your name. I have a daughter with the same name but never considered a hyphen?

Your son had tongue surgery which I didn't and I have no idea how that may affect future taste even without rad but I'm sure he's not finished his recovery so lets hope he moves up from the water cooler level. I will say that I used to be at that level so I know what he means.
