Congrats Aaron! You will be sorely missed. Tireless worker. Gifted talent. Dear friend. Warmest blessings for you and your future bride and this great new beginning. We've had some great people pass through Cats' Pause doors, but none better than Aaron.
Some personal news:. These will be my last two weeks as the Beat Writer at The Cats' Pause. I've loved every second of it and am thankful to @DarrellBird for the opportunity and for being the best boss I could have possibly asked for. Business as usual the next 2 weeks!
