An Early Spring at the SAG Awards
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been itching for spring to come. The inconsistent weather here in the D.C. area isn’t helping my patience. One day it’s so cold my steering wheel feels like a block of ice, and the next day I’m walking around in cropped jeans and a light jacket.

Marisol and I went to Parsons School of Design together, each earning our B.B.A. in Design Marketing.

She ended up working at VHI, beginning a very successful career …
