"I will be interning for the Alliance for the Great Lakes starting next week. In addition to working my full time job, I will be helping the Alliance's water quality division. Specifically, I will be working on a project concerning pharmaceuticals in the Great Lakes. They can really mess with the biology of a plethora of fish species and other aqatic biota. Also, not good for us dependent on Great Lakes drinking water (some 26 million people). I am also trying to hit a January deadline for grad school applications. So if you think I am dead b/c I don't return your phone calls or make it to your parties, please just know that it is b/c I am saving the world." -Heather Girl, you truly are my hero. Long live the Great Lakes.
Daniel himself stopped by our table. My heart nearly beat out onto my plate and like a starstruck ninny I could do nothing but smile and blush. Every dish delectable, each plate everything but licked clean. And then this landed in front of me. I wanted to sing it's praises and take up residence in those shining, cavernous chocolate innards! And being the mature patron that I am, I couldn't help but wrap my tooth in the solid gold foil and smile for the camera. Thanks for a full belly and a fine memory, Keith...
I won our building raffle. Proceeds went to making our backyard the destination spot it is today. My prize? Two bottles of wine, homemade shrimp etouffee and chocolate mousse cake with raspberry sauce and fresh whip cream. Delivered to my door by the chefs themselves. To say it was delicious is an understatement. Twenty bucks well spent.
