Sammy Roche Is Too Busy for Davos!An ongoing photographic inquiry.

Hey, Sammy! You crawl up stairs. You chew on your crib rail. You've had two ear infections. Are you going to the World Economic Forum, familiarly known as "Davos," when it meets Jan. 31-Feb. 4 in New York City?

No, Chatterbox.

Why not?

Too busy!

Whatcha gonna do instead?

Nurse. Nap. Laugh if anyone amuses me.

That sounds a lot more important! Chatterbox has spent the last few days inviting prominent thinkers and doers in Washington to Don the Shirt. Are you too busy for Davos? Chatterbox is!

(Submitted by reader Sean Roche, Sammy's dad.)
