Have you ever felt like life is just so good that you have to pinch yourself to be sure that this life isn't the dream? Because that's definitely me right now. I love my job and my boss is the best no matter how much he tries to pretend otherwise, I'm so much more excited about being back in school than I imagined I'd ever be, I've made some of the best friends (and found some of the best creative inspiration), and I'm still pretty sure this great guy in my life should only exist in my favorite works of fiction.

Thanks for being so good to me, Dunhaven. Now pass me some cheese fries.

THOMAS & CALLIOPE

Hello, there. I don't know if either of you remember me, but I'm Ian Rhinehart. We met when you came into my shop a bit back for macarons. Given you're both new to town, I was wondering if you'd be open to me having you over for dinner as a bit of a welcome. I've been told I make a particularly good Chicken Parmigiana.
