“Your work sounds like the grown-up version of “Community”.”
– Staci, upon hearing about my origami lunch and afternoon balloon tower teambuilding activity. Yup, it’s pretty great.

9 Mezcal Cocktails for Cinco de Mayo →
Feeling adventurous? Play with mezcal instead of tequila! I’m particularly interested in Schrodinger’s Cat and La Palabra (subbing Cointreau for Combier). The McQueen looks tasty, but has too many (expensive) ingredients that I don’t have.
