Finished the book; it was an excellent read. While Chris' life and mine have been completely different, there is a fundamental connection - multiple times throughout the book, Chris mentions 'saying yes to life,' and that 'something will always work out.' Funny how many different ways that can manifest itself.

Another funny thing...a friend eating Indian food for the first time: do you tell them which hand is for which activity, or let them go? Good luck MC. Definite test of friendship!
