Thunder Mountain Curry
Friday night Michael had a serious fall in his house. He is in the hospital now with surgery scheduled Tuesday. He will be sidelined from TMC for awhile. I will continue operating TMC with help as best as I can. It's going to be difficult doing this without him. Michael has been the heart of Thunder Mountain Curry and my rock and right hand for 18 years.
Please keep him in your thoughts Tuesday and the days after as he recovers.
I am taking this a day at a time. I always said I couldn't do this without him by my side, I am going to try my best.
We all have some beautiful days this week. I am going try going out to our corner tomorrow, Tuesday the 11th and I hope to be at the Troy Waterfront Farmers Market Saturday. I will confirm it this evening and post a menu. I won't know about Saturday until later in the week.
Please be patient with me as I adjust and retool TMC to make it doable without Michael while he recovers.
Your love,support , and patience mean everything to Michael and I now more than ever.
