Thanks, Tillamook

Hey, remember a couple months back, when the Tillamook people asked to use my 2014 tweet about taking their cheese to Vietnam in a marketing campaign?

Well, of course, I don't blame you if you don't. If you'd like to read all the details, go here.

I've been quite excited about that.

And today, when I was out and about, and my third-born texted me to say I'd received a package that commanded, "Refrigerate upon arrival," I knew my lucky ship had finally sailed into port. 

So I rushed home, grabbed the box out of the fridge, and here's what happened next:

And then, later that afternoon, this happened:

Yum! Thanks, Tillamook.
