Bob just finished the terrible math test (FIVE HOURS OF MATH _ OH MY!) He thinks he did pretty well, though of course came home brain dead and starving. Chris aced the GRE - (no surprise). He was here when Bob came home because he and a friend were kindly (and in exchange for the washer and drier from my parents' house for the friend) doing a dup run for me. When he saw Bob Chris made the joyful and appropriate salute (aimed at both of them) "Hail to the conquering heroes!" They are indeed. How I love that young man!

Bob's unwinding for a few minutes watching UC Irvine - the team that beat UT in the regionals - come from behind in the College World Series. We'll be heading down soon to San Antonio for a romatic retreat on the River Walk in our time share condo. This year I think we have really both earned some down time! I feel less mixed about leaving the kids than I did last night. This will be fun.
