Duff is currently running around like a chicken with his head cut off packing up to get on the road to New York City (!) for the NYC Food & Wine Festival.

Duff will be hosting the SWEET event tomorrow night, with the world's most gorgeous and delicious desserts, champagne, cheese, and vodka. I totally wish I could go! I wish you could too, but as of now, it's sold out. Since the entire event benefits Share Our Strength (a non-profit dedicated to stopping childhood hunger), sold out is a good thing.

My Motto: "When life puts you in those little crunches, don't give up - you've got to roll with the punches" - Young MC
There has been a little empty place in our hearts all week as Katherine has been gone, on tour with her band Lexie Mountain Boys. If you are in Chicago, Oberlin, Philly, or New York, you can see them live in the next week, so check it.
I hope everyone has an absolutely breathtakingly awesome weekend.
xoxo,
