Pamela,
It’s been a long time. I am at Washingtonian Magazine now. Just launched a new custom publishing division.
Glad to see you having a blast.
Hi Pam, Happy New Year. I thought I’d “leave a comment” just for fun to let you know that ordinary people look at your website, too. I hope you had a good time at Matt’s. Kirk, Scott and Ian are always checking up on “Pamela’s Punch.
