Susie's Leaning Tower of Chocolate for 2006 January 13

cheese alert.

I am picking John up at the LA office today on the way to Bakersfield. I was just thinking about when we did the same thing before Grandma's funeral. I got off the freeway and drove down among all those tall buildings with people in suits bustling everywhere and felt like I'd come home. It was a bit like the moment I realized I wouldn't be happy working for a small company.

Of course, I have the same feeling when I'm driving on the 58 through hills covered in dead grass, or thinking about bike rides at our house in the vineyard. But there was just something about all those people going about their lives together in a jungle of steel and glass...

I have to post this so I can throw the sticky note away. About three months ago, Andrea was discussing growth opportunities and accidentally coined a new term: "grass ceiling".

Rachel: Oh, the Disney version: The ultimate in historical truth.
