Three Shout Outs and Two Notes

• Shout Out 1:  To my friend Lauren, who became engaged whilst vacationing in Savannah. Yay!!!
• Shout Out 2: To my friend Jess, who is tying the knot in a few hours here in New York. Yay!!! I am honored to be serving as black-clad bridesmaid.
• Shout Out 3: To Jan and Lew, who celebrated their 37th anniversary on June 20th. Yay!!!
• Note 1: You may or may not have noticed that of late, I’ve been even less prolific than I usually am. That is due to a combination of laziness, malaise and nightmarish conditions at work. We are preparing for a massive trade show in Texas, and sadly, it may be a little while longer before I can return to bi-weekly bloggery.
• Note 2: I have asked my sister Jamie to serve as guest blogger. She has at least two highly entertaining tales to share, and I think I have trained her well. Please stay tuned, and enjoy.
