In January I was up in the city, in the ballroom of the Palace Hotel, prepping for the rehearsal of our annual department awards show. I was gathering-up my things from under the table, I look down, and there is a Cheerio resting on the patterned carpet designed to walk…
I’m super excited to report: I have a new BFF. He’s the perfect Best Friend Forever. Here’s a list of of why we’re inseparable: He’s super fun: “Drive faster!” “Louder. I want cowboy music. Louder!” He’s very handy… and I always have a long list of projects: “I can fix…
