Teddy

I have a wonderful adopted Pomeranian/Chihuahua named Teddy. Teddy loves blueberries, being admired, belly scratches, and long naps on the sofa.

More Famous Drostes

I am unrelated to Ed Droste of the band "Grizzly Bear."

I am, regrettably, not the heir to the Droste chocolate fortune.

Iowa

I grew up in the great state of Iowa, and have very strong opinions about corn.
