My hubby's got a bug in his ear this week, and I'm excited to see him excited. I think the bug itself hopped onboard last Friday or so, when his boss asked him the loaded question: "What are your goals working here, Keoni?" Given that the boss had just (earlier that afternoon) fired the kitchen … Continue reading A Bug in His Ear
