Louis Fowler continues remarkable recovery!

Before we get started with this week's batch of digestible Internet content, I wanted to pass along an update on our good pal Louis Fowler.

Back in early February, Louis – TLO's food and culture critic – suffered a life-threatening stroke that left him paralyzed on his right side, and – outside of saying "yes," "no," and a couple of other mumbles – unable to verbally communicate.

It's now been three months or so since that stroke, and I'm happy to report Louis continues to make a remarkable recovery!

Thanks to an intense regiment of physical and speech therapy, Louis is able to move and walk around with no assistance. And although some words flow a bit easier than others, he's able to talk and effectively communicate, too.

We had some good food and conversation at The Meating Place, and then walked next door to Guestroom Records to shop for vinyl. I was also able to present him with this special gift – an autographed location card from the set of Reservation Dogs...
