We both left CBS in the early nineties and in one of those "gee it's a small world" stories we ended up working together again nearly 10 years later at Scripps Networks (the parent company of Food Network.)
We're still both at Scripps after more than 10 additional years and she's still a good egg. She's a fellow dog owner and pet lover, and a few months ago she suggested a fantastic book - Merle's Door: Lessons from a Freethinking Dog.
I just finished the audiobook version after listening for three weeks of bike commutes to work.
The book is a wonderful biography of dog and his special relationship with his owner. The relationship story is mixed with plenty of rich biological and anthropological information on dogs on humans.
The story is set in Jackson Wyoming which took me back full circle to the Summer of 1989 when I spent weeks on the road in the Rockies as an Affiliate Sales Manager for CBS.
In the back of my mind I've always vowed to return to the Rockies to live for a while. It may not be fore a while, but at least I can go there in my mind thanks to books like Merle's Door.
