The Best Times of Your Life…
…have not yet been lived. Or, so says my fortune cookie fortune from today’s lunch at P.F.Chang’s. In a moment of panic, at the prospect of eating alone for the first time all summer, David De La Flor and I reached out to Jeff Snyder who, at the last minute, graciously agreed to have
