Fun fact: I don’t fangirl. Except when I met my favorite astronaut, Captain Jim Lovell. And probably if I ever met Tom Hanks or Ira Glass. But really, I don’t usually fangirl. If I did, however, I probably would have the first time I met Alison Glass (no relation to my boo Ira). She’s an incredibly […]
