Auntie Candi

Elise and Candice

Candice is a woman I went to college with. She is in the movie business in New York, and has spent the majority of her life there. She spent a stint living in London. She's compassionate, smart, tough as nails, and has a great nose for bullshit and no reservations about calling it what it is.

Friday, when Elise told me "tomorrow is the day", I dropped Candice an IM with the news. She was just thinking that she'd love to come down when they're due next month, and was hoping she wouldn't be working when it came. Since she's between gigs right now, she packed a bag and headed to JFK.

The Atlanta weather had other ideas, and Candice ended up getting unceremoniously dumped in Columbia, SC. She and a few fellow passengers rented a car and raced through the night to ATL, and at 5AM I picked her up at a gas station out in the suburbs.

A few hours later, here she is chatting with Elise, before Elise goes in to deliver.

She is going to help me pull off this move. Thanks, Candice, you always come through in the pinch.

Thank you, Candice! What a wonderful friend you are to take on the role "moving czar!"

From Auntie Sherrill to Auntie Candi, Thank you! Elise and Steve have their hands sorta full right now and you sound like the kind of person that's needed to help them pull this all together.

Steve, I was telling Elise that the weighth of the twins combined is less than Uncle John weighed when he was born....if there would have been triplets, it might be about right.
