Vickey and Karuna came by on Wed and brought us so much lunch! The gorgeous bundt/pound cake was only one of six? seven? delicious dishes. I felt very spoiled (and full). Originally lunch was scheduled to be on Thurs, but Vickey is my CNN/C-span maven/junkie and asked for a reschedule to accommodate the historic testimony. I, of course, complied because I get all my world news from two sources: The New York Times and Vickey. Sometimes after dinner, Jeremy’ll ask me to repeat “Vickey’s version” of an incident and he’ll nod his head, yeah that’s about right. Jeremy is also, of course, a political news junkie, but he rarely sees anything on video, it’s all print or audio. Vickey fills me in on the visual stuff because she’s got the TV turned to the news channel all day. A side note: my friends are totally twinning in their stripy shirts. A side note two: for at least ten minutes during the visit, we discussed polymer molecular weights and their distribution and at what point does it matter to the properties of the bulk material. Women in STEM: we do talk about polymer science during a purely social event.

My parents are here and goofy.

Vince is cooking a lot. He cooked the steak dinner last night. He also made homemade chicken nuggets tonight.

Vince was home from school today because the seniors had graduation today and all the teachers went downtown for the ceremony. I worked a couple of hours today and here’s how the kids spent the morning.
