Audrey Marks is Proud of Me

So, all of the people I went to grad school with are pretty much amazing, and every day they each make their own great mark on the world, both big and small. And, since many of them are receiving accolades and becoming big shots in their fields of choice, I, as an only child, needed some validation that I was still loved. Enter Audrey Marks, who circulated this very important memo for your perusal:

This list (which includes two more bullet points that didn’t fit on the page) is now framed and hanging in my cubicle. I will refer to it when my spreadsheets aren’t up to par and the witty blog quips just aren’t coming as quickly. Audrey Marks, you my friend are the ultimate memo-maker.

On May 1, all of my Ya-Ya-s, both full-fledged and junior status, made their way to Thomas Bull Park in Montgomery NY for the 2010 Arthritis Walk. For those of you who don’t know, May was National Arthritis Month. Those partaking in the Walk do so in honor of a family member or friend who has arthritis (GO AM!), and participants can choose between a three and one-mile course. This year, walkers raised more than $43,000 in support of the fight against arthritis.
