Farewell, Intern James Frey

James Frey's internship has ended, and we're happy to report that he did a decent job and took the work very seriously.

(Yeah, I look weird in this video and I don't want to hear another word about it.) On his way home, he took my package to the post office. [Video by Richard Blakeley]
