Just thought I'd brag on my husband for a minute... he went and won his school's Graduate Teaching Assistant Achievement Award, which means a nice corpulent check and the ability to take the summer off to
be with the kids study for his comprehensive exams this August. I'm not the least, tiniest bit surprised, because he works all sorts of body parts off for his students, even when they are collectively as dumb as a box of rocks, and he's good at what he does. A brazilian positive student evals can't be wrong, right? But it's wonderful that other people realize it, too.

So, we're all excited and happy for him. AND we'll be able to afford a new refrigerator. Ain't life grand?
