Well, I started 2012 with more of a mild cold than a dazzling bang, but I think I'm slowly swinging back into gear. For example: Today, I got my official Multnomah County Food Handler's Card! Thrilling...
In other news, I'm posting Michael J. Coffey's weekly Tea Salon to our brand new Tea Events calendar (see our Events Page). Michael is the brains behind TeaGeek.net — a fantastic resource — and he hosts a lively and engaging salon. It's a safe place to ask "newbie" questions, as well as to geek out about your latest tea-related fascination, without fear of reprisal.
The Tea Salon, which happens every Sunday, 2:00 p.m. Pacific, takes the form of a Google+ Hangout. If that means nothing to you, or if you simply need an invitation, please feel free to get in touch! I'll be delighted to help you get in on the fun.
I've been attending the Sunday Salon since mid-September, and have not only learned a lot, and thoroughly enjoyed myself, I've (virtually) met a lot of really nice folks. I highly encourage anyone with an interest in tea — whether burgeoning or well-established — to drop by.

Glad you are feeling better!
Thanks, Steph — much better! (Better with each cup, you might say. :)
