Dear Rick,
Matt stopped by my desk to discuss hot sauce. He mentioned remembering that Brandon had been saving Taco Bell taco sauce packets at one time.
Wow….remember when Brandon saved hot sauce packets and put them in a giant box and wrapped and gave it to you for Christmas? God, that was funny. You were genuinely thrilled to receive a giant box of Taco Bell hot sauce, that’s how much you loved it.
No matter what you were eating, you’d pull out a couple of packets and liberally drench the food – hamburgers, chicken, whatever…you’d add that hot sauce. And it couldn’t be “mild” or “fire.” It had to be good old “hot” Taco Bell taco sauce.
There were always packets in the car glove compartment, next to your keyboard on your desk, in your backpack, and sometimes in your computer case.
I miss you and your damn quirky ways, you and your hot sauce packets.
