Alles gute

I don't want to distract from S's new post below, but I thought I'd post this before I forget again. When I went to have my scan there was a big jar of these in the waiting room. At first I couldn't tell what they were. I was surprised to see chocolates in a hospital - especially in an area where the people waiting often need to be fasting for their procedures. It seems like it would be easy for someone to eat one without really thinking.

I was also surprised by the message. At first glance it looks like it reads, "Everything's good." That seemed a little flippant to me. I wouldn't be having a scan if there wasn't a chance that everything was not good. But really it's more like, "Best wishes." In my mindset that was just as bad - a nice way of saying, "Good luck, Buddy, you're going to need it!"

Under the circumstances, I think the best message would be, "Chocolate." It was very good chocolate (of course), and I would hate for anyone to be upset by what they might mistake for matchbooks or business cards.

I just noticed that L has packed Baby and Butterball in the luggage for Saas-Fee!
