Well, Ben just took off for Chicago. He's spending the end of spring break with a friend who attends Columbia University. I hope he has a good time because he really didn't come out of his bat cave much while he was home. He seemed happy to be here, just spent an inordinate amount of time sleeping. I made him promise to go out to dinner with J and I one night, which we did at Henry's, and I did lure him out one other time with a trip to Coney Island for some dogs and then for a hair cut. Just as one leaves, the other will be arriving home. My washer and dryer have really been getting a workout this week. I'll be glad to have Chrish home. He can tell me all about his cross country adventures. They're leaving DC tomorrow morning and plan to be home about 10 PM.
