About five years ago, Mason Kessinger and I decided to launch Smile Politely, with the help of Chris Maier, and a host of many local writers and thinkers.
Today, it’s evident that Mason simply enjoys eating. A lot.
Which is funny, because he is half the man he used to be. At least in terms of his size.
And by that, I mean what ever you want.
His girlfriend, the awesome Kalee Rinehart, keeps the blog. And I am only now just discovering it. It felt appropriate to post something, seeing as how we’re about to celebrate five years of publishing.
Thanks Mason — for all you’ve done and all you do.
Cheers!
