Return to VegNews

Fun day yesterday playing a bit of hooky, dropping in on VegNews to help copy edit the proofs for the jan-feb issue.  Somehow I knew that working on the law journal and learning all those weird copy editing symbols would come in handy some day.   Best thing?  Amazing interview Joe Connelly did with John Robbins.  Wow.  Reading through, you could tell that there was a really special connection there, and Joe seemed to draw the best out of John.  The interview really gave me a whole new appreciation for who John is and what he has done.  Make sure to rush out and buy a copy as soon as it hits the shelves!

Google is moving along -- official first day is going to be either Dec 4 or Dec 11, depending on what happens.  So many unknowns, though, in stepping into this new realm.  Just the volume of food itself is enough to overwhelm.  But the cookbooks continue to inspire, and the direct access to the best in produce and cooking talent will be unparalleled for skill development. 

Still, its hard to imagine such an abrupt transition.  I feel like I am in the calculus, speeding toward some infinity, knowing full well that the end lies just beyond the impossible edge, just beyond calculation.  The infinite jest will stop, though, and as as suddenly as it began, release me towards something new.  Scenes from a kitchen mutter in my sleep, and seem to creep just at the edge of my vision.  Nervous, certainly, but ready. 

Right now, its all just speculation, idle fancy or nerve-wracked worrying.  It will begin, that at least I know.
