Hi. I don't get on here much. Welcome and of course I'm sorry we have to meet under these circumstances. It sounds to me like you went through a whole lot. How are you doing now? I am a Gilroy native and have only been to the festival a handful of times. I always joke that it's for tourists. I do love garlic, I think it's in my blood. Didn't help prevent cancer though, at least in my case.

My 1st note got erased so I'll just say that I've been to Gillroy. Garlic forever! I'm 3C and 63. Had a much easier time of it than you did and I like you're writing style, but I have to stop I've been at this joining up for over an hour and I'm a lousy typist. Your hair looks great.
