The personal ones are undeserved—the ones about Choclatique are all true :). We are very proud of our great, artisan line of chocolate. I love working here every single day. Chocolate brings smiles to sad faces. Our pride in our chocolate, does not compare to our pride in our country’s military. I am always so disappointed when I see and hear people (especially those in our own government) disrespecting our men and women (or women and men--being totally politically correct you know) in the military. You have to have been there and seen that to fully understand the sacrifice that these heroes (and they are all heroes) and their families make to keep us safe here in the US. I think the founder fathers got it right when the original congress was made up of more former soldiers than attorneys. If anyone reading this blog knows of deserving returning vets who are in need of a chocolate fix just leave me a note at www.choclatique.com. Thank you for you kind comments.

Now I guess we're on par with surprise gifts from the desert, since I'm still staring across the room at Capt Mannix's gift to the family of 4 signed Blue Angels lithographs...I wonder if my family might have prefered chocolate and peanut brittle. I need to get the prints framed still. I also love See's Peanut Brittle and I got several boxes of it as Christmas gifts for friends/family on my last trip to San Francisco in Dec. 2001. Made my Dad's day, I remember. From a real See's shop with the free chocolate samples and all. Now that's it's widely available nationwide, it's not such a big deal, I guess. And those stories from Vietnam are most-intriguing. I love that stuff (in case you couldn't tell from the 5 WS info I had discovered last year). Wow, that’s very very nice!
