Hands

I typed way too much today, and here I am typing more. At work I had to type up a list of the movies that Slifka center owns, and then type them up, and also retype/type a list of summaries of the commercial videos (not, thank goodness, the ones of speakers at Yale- that would have taken me days). Now, I was given a typed sheet of these- presumably they had them on the computer somewhere. But I was told to retype them, so I did, and it took me most of the afternoon- there were 10 single spaced pages of these summaries. That's like typing a pretty decent length paper in one afternoon, something I don't do if I can at all help it. But at the beginning of the day I got to hang out with my boss' one year old son for about 45 minutes while she did stuff and found me a project to work on, and that was awfully fun- Caleb is a happy, laughing baby, and just got a huge kick out of playing peekaboo and having me carry him around with him pointing out which direction to go. And he was in a "carry me" mood, which he often seems to be, which is awfully charming. He's a chunky little guy, but he's still plenty small enough that one can carry him around without trouble for a long time without getting tired.

I seem to be in gender-relations mode. Between my last entry and the email conversation that sparked it, and the fact that I'm reading a book about presidential marriages, the topic has been sort of running around my brain. No great new ideas now, or even great old ideas, but just this desire to finish this book and read more on the topic. Luckily, I think Mom has a handful or two of such books, and I can just work my way through the good ones...
