"Happy New Year 2010, to all you loyal 'and i quote blog' readers... After 2700+ posts, I'm pretty much retiring this little blog. There may come a time that I might throw on a new quote or two... But the day-to-day thing ends with the decade past. Feel free to browse the Archives on here or to use the Search box. You may also join me in 2010 and beyond on Postcards from Hell's Kitchen blog and/or on my ToddHellsKitch Twitter. profile"

Cheers,
Todd
