Rob's Dissertation
Right now I'm proof-reading my brother-in-law's dissertation. This is what it's called.
"The Roles of Prayer, Petition and Power in Funding Pennsylvania Higher Education: The Response of Colleges and the General Assembly to the Constitutional Convention of 1872-1873"
It really makes me feel smarter just to be reading it. Maybe this says something about me and my life as a "stay-at-home mom." Maybe I really don't get out enough. Is it sad that I sit in Starbucks and enjoy doing this? Maybe I need to take some sort of furthering education class or something. Those who have sanely made it through this phase of life may speak to this issue better than I.
What is sick is that I actually am interested in the paper. Even Rob doesn't seem to really believe that.

I think I used to know you from Grace in CA-and my husband works at GTY-Jay to be specific.
It always makes me feel smart to sit at Starbucks (or anywhere public)and read. I guess looking smart is the biggest step towards feeling smart.
I always try to check out what other people are reading (at Starbucks or wherever) and then feel sort of better about myself if what I am reading is (in my opinion) "deeper" than what they're reading. Pretty sad!
What's your last name, JenM? I'm going through all the Jens I can remember...
