This Week

This week felt like it was never going to end.

Both personally and with what’s going on.

I try to limit my meetings and events to Tuesdays and Thursdays, giving me the other days to buckle down and get actual work done. That wasn’t the case this week.

It was an incredibly productive one, from a day long meeting with advisors for Rho Pharma on Sunday to lunch with my dad and an old partner .

I got a sneak peek of the Cherry Bombe cookbook this week and it is GOOD. And gorgeous. Pre-order it here.
Of all the programs to expand in elementary education, this one tops the list.
