Kate's Point of View

People at work are running their jibs non-stop and then acting all frustrated that they can’t get their work done. Seriously? Try shutting up for about 5 minutes. It will do wonders. My weapon against sound are some sweet Bose headphones. Thank god for anything that muffles that chatter and lets me zone out to some Mile Benjamin Anthony Robinson.

So as I am sitting here grateful for sound barrier, this phrase popped in my head: “I’m powered by Bose.” And it made me mile.

Many, many moons ago, Wonder Boy left me a note on my desk at work that said “Powered by Kermit the Frog.” It was cryptic and sweet and let me know that he was wearing his Kermit the Frog T-shirt as an undershirt that day. It was just a goofy little exchange of the type that was more common early in our relationship than now. And I don’t mean that in a sad way — I say that fondly reminiscing about what we were. And how that helped to lay the foundation for what we are.
