Aghh...it's late and I should be in bed. But I wanted to post some pix of my board of advisors. They keep me honest at work every day. At times, they question my motives in suggesting such strategies as a bath with hairwashing or more zucchini instead of more curly fries. (and really, is there anyone who prefers zucchini to curly fries? I mean, we make some pretty good grilled zucchini, but still....)

In short (erm, no pun intended, since they are both under 4 feet tall), my advisors are all about having fun, seizing the day, and eating dessert first. And really, isn't that what life's about? Shower the people, indeed.




(Can't you just hear them now? "Do you think she's conflicted about her decision to give us pseudo-healthy cereal as a snack?" "She thinks she's doing the right thing, of course, but she'll revisit that decision in 11 years, when we're both teenagers and taller than she is.")



("It's not wise to smile for the camera, Sascha. Then she'll think you'll do anything she asks you to. Don't you remember how I picked up the cat by his head? That's the kind of rebellion that parents need to experience.")




(really, this photo does not need a caption except to say that after her bath, this is the girl who will ONLY allow herself to be dried with a PINK towel. yet she is definitely related to me...there was no mix-up in the hospital, seeing that she was born in the bedroom...genetics are so funky, aren't they?)
