Editor-in-chief, July 2007
Here I am sitting at the international headquarters for theMangoTimes (note: in the background of this photo you will see my young apprentice learning the ropes of journalistic excellence...). You see, running a publication like theMangoTimes requires more than advanced communication skills...as I have mentioned it requires the unique ability to slow down, step back and look at the world from a different angle.
In order to do this, I recommend you give the following techniques a try: First, stay up late (no writing for theMangoTimes takes place during sunlight hours). Second, drink a lot of hot black tea with sugar (cappucinos and black coffee are a close second). Third, eat ridiculous candy (although not ridiculous, theMT editorial desk is usually littered with red licorice (preferably "red vines"), Hot Tamales or any of the individual members of the M&M's family. Fourth, eat plenty of ice cream (however, with this recommendation, I recommend working alone - as pints of Ben and Jerry's ice cream have been known to disappear). Lastly, recruit others to massage your shoulders and back. I recommend using someone like this:

By the way, the editor is celebrating sixteen years of marriage this weekend, so look forward to a summer family update complete with a kid by kid analysis...

Happy Anniversary to you and the Mrs.
Are you accusing me of eating all the Ben and Jerry's??? fyi- there is an entire pint, unopened, of B and J Banana Split in the freezer as I type. Blech. It's all yours. Generous of me, eh? And admit it: you're just sore because I ate a goodly portion of the Caramel Karma stuff you like.
So...Why does it look like your heads been stuck in a carton of ice cream??? Or perhaps you're looking through a fish bowl.
I'm more of a CHUBBY HUBBY fan myself. Part flavor, part description, all good. Hmmm...I'll get back to you later...
p.s. Congrats on 16 years...
He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the LORD.
I didn't know you were Sponge Bob's brother.
It's time to start thinking "outside the box."
Enjoy your time away. Happy Anniversary
Grandbro - you and Kendra 16 years later...I still remember the pinning at Tri-Delta (Kendra sang beautifully and made fraternity boys cry) and even then the wedding and the great ride on the Seagrave with Halmi at the wheel. So much has happened since then, but you and Mrs. are every bit as wonderful as you have always been...and better! Congratulations and much love to you both - Grandbro
