The Pixar tour was pretty fascinating. They should just do a full hour or so just showcasing Pixar studios and it’s history and it would all be just as fascinating. Pixar always seems to exceed my high expectations. And I’m jealous of the work environment they’ve created!

Congrats, Chris! I just got my “Misery Love Sherman” book, and it’s great.
