dear howaboutwe user "JimJones__",

9:50 pm. Alone at the office. Erin’s holiday Pandora station is still playing and I’m listening to “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” while writing/editing a post about whether New Year’s Eve is a good (fun/quirky) first date idea or a disastrous first date idea.
