I went to Michigan this weekend to speak about ‘the art of thank you’. To 80 college counselors, who represent Camp Kesem locations at universities all across the United States. I’ll write more about what I said and who I met in another post… but when I finally got back to Los Angeles and…

Now I love the chain even more, after seeing the picture of a typewriter in the window in Century City/Westfield Mall. We were walking around after dinner tonight —…
