One of my favorite parts of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is the talk about “gumption traps.” He starts off covering external setbacks:
…. After days of work you finally have it all together except for: What’s this? A connecting-rod bearing liner?! How could you have left that out? Oh Jesus, everything’s got to come apart again! You can almost hear the gumption escaping. Pssssssssss.
There’s nothing you can do but go back and take it all apart again… after a rest period of up to a month that allows you to get used to the idea.
“Pssssss.” That’s exactly the sound I heard as I realized the old blog was gone: all the posts about cleaning out the gluten, and installing the oven, and “kosherizing,” and our early attempts at birthday cakes. That took the wind out of my sails, let me tell you.
But out of the ashes of the old blog will come an even better blog. We finally have a professional working on the whole site, including a Yahoo! store for online ordering. Now that he’s on the case, I have the gumption to start posting again – he will make the content look pretty soon enough.
Hurray! We’re back!

So glad to see you back! I can’t wait to be back in LA (never thought I’d hear myself say that) for more focaccia and bread sticks (and of course, more sweet treats!)

Yeah!!! Your blog has come back to life. I’m delighted that a fellow blog reader was able to send you your old posts too.
Congratulations on all the good things happening to your bakery!
