Taking on New Challenges

Day 156: Work trips are the best
I used to work and sleep on work trips. But now, I get to work, see friends and enjoy dinner together. Seriously, what’s better than that? Tonight, I’m in Chicago, with Kathleen, and Vered is in town for her job. Obviously we had a reunion. And it was fun. Plus the food (and drinks) were…
