Amy, first congratulations!

You wrote an important piece on many subjects- trash, unions, cities, leadership.

Something I often think and write about is the fragility of cities. You make clear how close we are to 1700s needing perfumed anything to obscure the scent of the city.

I felt better when you said wine bottles and corks are non negotiable!

Thank you for your insights and underlying humor even in dire circumstances!

Please become a writer! You are truly gifted! So incredibly proud of you but had no doubt you would pass! Sounds like it’s time to leave those stinky streets and head back to the Big D!

Congratulations! PASS is good!! Way to go!

Sorry the street scene is such a distraction, but thankful the scent has not crept into your apartment. Can't imagine the impact on cafes and their outdoor seating.

Great idea, dancing around in full chef attire. Keep celebrating!

I’ve been catching up …. So so so proud of you my friend. I can hear your voice in my head in all your posts ! Guess you needed to break out your “Beta Shoes” to get to the wine shop …. The little black patent flats we all wore to the Beta House and cleaned up w windex. I believe that was your invention ! Congrats on all you’ve accomplished at LCB !
