Although IHOP declared yesterday Nation Pancake Day, we decided to celebrate our own version today (2.24.10). Bobby brought in his portable griddle and tried out his new “Pancake Pen” to pile up dozens of flapjacks for the office. Completing the spread, Bobby prepared bacon and cut up fresh fruit. We even had a little pancake-eating […]

We teed off in a charity golf tournament supporting FreshStart, an organization that provides free reconstructive plastic surgery and related medical services to disadvantaged children and young people with physical deformities. One […]

Yesterday we eagerly awaited the 2 o’clock start of our buildings annual “Ice Cream Social”. Banana splits on the house? All the toppings—hot fudge, nuts, sprinkles, whip cream, and a cherry.

Everyone in the office is scared to do dishes. About two weeks ago I walked into the office and could hear Bobby and Ryan conspiring in the kitchen. Curious, I walked in and the two went quiet and then Bobby said softly to Ryan “Let’s have Joey do it!” “Do what?”, I asked. Bobby pointed […]

Today though, we unofficially ushered in the summer season with Korean shortribs! Bobby brought in a shiny new […]
