Off topic: it looks like Blogger finally updated its platform to resize images appropriately. It only took, what? 5 years?  I saw an old post of mine talking about wins, and it occurred to me that I don’t talk about that enough. I’d like to make a point of doing a post once a month about it, but… *shrug* So November wins: Made a bunch of new friends (a bunch at Luci) at the SEGD conference Went to the Eastern State Penitentiary’s Halloween Nights Went to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia Was recognized a lot at IAAPA. I don’t have to work so hard to network anymore Met my mentor Kile Ozier in person Ran for the TEA board (and lost, but that’s okay) Early December wins: Spoke with Carol at the Smithsonian and got a TON of incredibly  helpful feedback.  Won the bid for the Hamilton East Public Library largely (almost entirely) due to me Impressed my MIA clients and am moving forward on that project Met Marina Heck, a world famous and LOCAL pole dancer, who I’m planning...

I bought a new tea at Fava yesterday when I went to pick up some more tea bags. It's called Pistachio Torte. I love pistachio, but what caught my interest was that it also contained rose petals. I wouldn't have thought that a winter exclusive would have rose, but I guess those two flavors are often paired together.  It's a black tea, which always makes me hesitant (the black always seems to overpower all the other flavors), but it's surprisingly better than I expected. I really like it. It almost tastes like an herbal tea; the pistachio has the perfect balance, and I don't taste the rose much. I must have accidentally steeped it for the exact right time.
