Thanks for the tour! That was pretty sweet. (And thanks for introducing me to folks whose desks are actually messier than mine. It's pretty damn refreshing. Seriously.) Wow. Thanks for the tour!

I look forward to seeing "officing" appear in your fine publication, and I'd be happy to concept with you on ways to make it happen. --M.

I'll allow officing to become a word the day after concepting becomes a word, which should come about a week after you start voting Republican. Guess I'll now have to keep an eye on my copywriter girlfriend to see if she starts slinging officing around the apartment!!! Anyway, good luck with the move. And my condolences on Ann Richards.
