Working in a different medium today--frosting. It's Ann's (one of my business partners) birthday today. Her sister, Beth, baked a cake and I frosted it using those tubes of colored frosting you can get at the supermarket.

My son, Cole, lying on the floor of the FACES office, listening to a book on CD. I listen to a lot of books, too.
