10 Things I love about Karen...

1. She's older than me. Barely, but it counts.
2. She can sell ice water to Eskimos.
3. Her bullshit-off the-cuff presentations are 10 times better than my deeply-researched agonized, carefully crafted crap.
4. She is extremely beautiful and her smile lights up any room. Keeps me from killing her sometimes.
   
5. She brings me food and always shares her chocolate.
6. She is always game for taking on clients that we have no business taking on.
   
7. She can turn the most difficult client engagement into a complete home run. She just might be able to turn Americans into Socialists...
8. She is tough as nails and not afraid to say the things that need to be said to the people who need to hear it in a way that gets through.
9. She is an active Left winger which allows my lazy American ass to sit by the wayside while she makes sure we actually get a smart President for a change. Between her and Oprah--don't know who Barack Obama needs to thank more!
   
10. For some inexplicable reason, she hasn't left me for a new business partner---yet!
