The box of candy is actually filled with M&M's and is available only on Air Force One. My boss caught a ride with the President and made sure he had enough to give to staff. So, now Brian is the proud owner of said box.

One of these days, I'll have to do this on my blog (if I ever update the 'word' one again -- too much time with the photo one). It's amazing how many cool things guys get over the year.

cool job on the press creds. As you know, I'm a big fan of press creds and need to eventually do something with all mine, too!
