WOWZA! I had the BEST time this past Saturday at the Meals on Wheels New Mexico Celebrity Waiter event! So many smiling faces, delicious dishes, and big hearts all in one place. I was honored to be there repping the Albuquerque Journal and spreading some mascot-sized cheer!

Big shoutout to Meals on Wheels for the amazing work they do — you folks ROCK!

Already counting down the days till next year! Until then… stay awesome, Albuquerque!
