...Gusmorino, the goals listed on the roadmap—such things as extending party hours and universal keycard access—are more than just a vision; he works many hours to ensure that they are accomplished.

So I made her a big tofu dinner in our studio apartment. Then I woke her up at 1:30 a.m. and told her that over the past six months, I've been tearing up over Friends episodes about marriage and the ending of What Women Want. I told her that my life...
