Today's yummy is all about Leo Buscaglia... In Born for Love; Reflections on Loving this is what he writes about himself...

"I begin each day by listening to the news... In spite of this, I eat my breakfast, get dressed, and with renewed determination, secure in my armor of optimism, I face the world as a lover. I know that this may seem naive and perhaps a little simplistic to the cynic, but as far as I can determine, it is in the only sensible decision."

I love Leo. OMG do I love Leo!
