Gretchen ... need I say more

She is just swell, in fact, the most swelliest , smartest, wry, kind, generous, "Come On Over To Our House!" person you'll ever get the chance to meet. Weirdly, she was in Boston last year and she and I and Steve Himmer were planning to meet and at the last minute ... and I mean last minute from more than one perspective, my Dad took a turn for the worst and we had to cancel. In fact, if I remember correctly, we were supposed to meet on a Sunday afternoon and two days latter my dad passed away. So glad we hooked up in San Fran this past week under much happier circumstances.
