Dispatch from Pittsburgh

Most people go somewhere warm when Spring Break rolls around. Rich and I are in Pittsburgh. It snowed today.

At least this year we went somewhere somewhat south from Madison. Last year we went to Minneapolis. Of course, it didn't snow up there.

Anyway. Yesterday and the day before we were in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Home to the University of Michigan, of course. Something which allowed the following exchange to occur:

Rich: "You know we could do something really nerdy today."

Carly: "What's that?"

Rich: "We could go to this brownbag talk at the Institute of Humanities."

Carly: "What's the topic?"

Rich: " 'Citizenship, Statelessness and Social Exclusion' "

At this point, Carly's eyes light up.

Carly: "Very, very tempting"

Rich: "We're not going to a brownbag in the midst of our roadtrip."

Carly: "Bastard."



I know. I'm such a nerd.
