Doug- what brought on this insomnia? Have you been depressed about the recent Indians' losing streak? I recall the days (or should I say nights) during our sophomore year in Wheelock in which I would lay awake tossing and turning while you click-click-clicked on your mouse into the wee hours. Then when you finally decided to retire to bed, you would fall asleep - literally - within seconds, which really annoyed me. Here's hoping that you soon return to your halcyon days of quasi-narcolepsy.

Insomnia sucks.

Wow -- you are old, Kristin. But at least you can hide it. Nothing says beyond old to a new college grad like a baby on your hip.

Not that I'd trade him for the world. If I ever need a laugh, I can just fake sneeze in his face and he cracks up (which always makes me crack up, too).

Of course, Josh is going to see even older than you do when he stands up in front of a class of freshman at Fordham and starts spouting about Faith and Critical Reasoning and (horror of horror) correct punctuation, grammar and spelling! Yes, Josh will officially be Professor Papsdorf two weeks from today. We predict an astounding leap in higher education will soon follow.

FYI: there is nothing funnier:

Oh! and get this, to hammer the age difference home again. I was telling a student in my class that my husband is younger than I am and that he graduated in 2000 and she kindly bubbled that she graduated *highschool* then.

Oh Man,
I am SO jealous of you vacationers. I'm already in my third week of medical school, wondering when I'll get time to finish these dissertation revisions. This is the craziest summer of all time. Not as crazy as chasing newborns or anything--but, I am jealous of that too! I must say, though, I'm not a huge fan of Bama just yet. I'll keep you posted, but basically, having no friends and having the average age of my class as 22.6 isn't working for me. I'm homesick and lonely. So, I'm willing to host any visitor who might find themselves in Dixie.
Miss you all.

Haha. I have seen "This Land." I've watched it several times, and chuckle every time I see it. What is your favorite part? Mine is probably when Hillary slaps Bill, prompting Bill to say incredulously, "What'd I do?"
