I am home! Yay! I took an earlier train home but it was delayed by an hour. Annoying. I still made it home before bedtime and got to see N and read to him. Then it was lots of homework.…

While I have been in NY, I've been sending the girls emails on various topics. I just got a slew of responses from them, and I thought I'd share them here because they are awesome. Note that some are older…
