Big Take On His 5th

Happy 5th Birthday Dev!

That was looong honeymoon

Thanks for the Birthday Wishes!

Thank you for the happy birthday calls, cards, messages, and posts. It was a beautiful birthday and you all made me feel so loved. A few freinds surprised me on Friday night when they arrived for a game night all dressed up. We had a great time visiting and playing games. They had me wear a birthday hat and served me ice cream with 21 candles. 21! Feels so strange.

POP'S TOP TEN

You might not be aware, but our very own, Maggie Teskey, has had the pleasure of meeting two presidents in the past week. She shook the hand of Bill Clinton as he walked through the kitchen, and observed President Obama as Taste served the fund raising gathering at Marissa Mayer's home in Palo Alto. She is VP at Google.

Pops gives us the TOP TEN things going through Maggie's mind the past few days.

• "Dang, this girl's in love!"
• "Good God it's true, Bill is devastatingly handsome"
• "This is something they can never take away from me; like the first time I met Jill's dad"
• "Okay, maybe I should have had him sign a napkin or something for Jill"
• "Oh great!, noooow they tell me he's a vegetarian"
• "Jill better be Tivoing "Top Chef"
• "So now I know, two presidents is my limit"
• "As president of Taste, I'm truely honored and humbled ..... no, no. As president of Taste ...."
• "The security around here is tighter than Dwight Yoakam's pants"
• "What should I do next ..... the phony chuckle or the unconvincing smile?"
