Woke up and the 7yo showed me her latest creation with @gotynker — I don’t even remember the last time we watched a Pixar movie!
Hey, @BruceFeldmanCFB, can you set Stewart straight AGAIN on the next episode of The Audible? Had to rip him last week on Miami, and he needs another lesson.
Still am. Just surprised how out in the open the cheating is.
