Last time, I ended by noting that human nature is complex and that emotions can, at THYME, stand in the way of progress. Among the most BASIL of these emotions are anger, sadness, hate and rage.

I certainly hope you do not RUE (regret) the THYME you will spend reading and discussing this next TOPS Spice of Life on the rack. RUE is a bitter spice that must be used sparingly.
