Next weekend will be productive; it’ll really have to be. But for now, a few responses from the husband…glad we’re still in the honeymoon phase of our relationship, or something:
During our attempt at studying together, spoken in monotone, all words in the same breath: “I-love-you-more-shut-up.”
“You make me unproductive. Slow as molasses in January, enjoying your company or some such bullshit.”
John, you take my breath away with your compliments.

I love you & your husband dearly, and while it would be even better to see your faces, this blog makes it seem that you are quite close. You make these peeks into your life at Penn such a pleasure.
And you two more than deserve a weekend of being as slow(and sweet)as molasses in January.
Have a wonderful week!
kristen! what a sweet note–thank you! and i think we need to take advantage of the fact that we are no longer a world apart, literally, and plan a nyc visit. i miss you dearly!
