N had his first session with Jesse Dougherty today, the Nats beat reporter for the Post. It was great – they talked for about 30 minutes. For the first few minutes, Jesse told him about what it's like to be a beat reporter, and then they talked baseball. Mostly possible trades, who the Nats should try to to get, etc. I think they are going to do it again in a few weeks – so great.

N is VERY serious.

M drove herself to the orthodontist today. That is the best. She had to get a wire reattached to the back of her teeth.

A is enjoying vacation. M needs to finish a paper and then she can enjoy vacation more.
