08 Dec Happy Birthday to Erik!
Mrs. Askin has made a few new friends in Baltimore while simultaneously making Erik blush so red she could probably see it from Massachusetts (which I might be doing again right now). Erik’s mom sent a Whole Foods smorgasbord of sushi, spicy bean tortilla wraps, chicken wings, and a chocolate cake to celebrate his birthday. It was delicious, nutritious, and gone before it could be photographed. Not surprisingly, we were unable to convince Erik to give up her phone number so we could start off our weekly staff meeting by calling to thank her. Therefore, Mrs. Askin, we thank you publicly for inviting us to the party – it was very sweet. And, we wish your son many more Happy Birthdays!
Oh, and if you ever need any help of an engineering or design nature, you have our number…

Sorry you missed it. It went too fast to photograph.
