Happy birthday, Katy Assner! 

You've influenced my life in so many ways... Here's to the next fifteen years!

((Because let's take a minute to think about the fact that we were twelve when we met and how scary is that and oh my gosh we need to hurry up and be in Napa at the same time so we can go to Oxbow Market and eat things covered in cheese because we have built our friendship on a mighty foundation of cheese and Jewish humor... Wheeee!))
