Thomas’ yearbook pics

His professor days at Yale

He used to be a pretty big Beatles follower.

Thomas doesn’t like to talk about the 70’s.

Thomas “Pencil-Pusher” Peterson

He kind of let himself go in the 90’s.

Ode To Burritos

Aroma
The steamy smell of meat, beans, rice, and salsa
My nose warns my taste buds and they begin screaming
