sports is a most excellent thing. i love being out in the sun and hitting a ball across the court. it makes me feel so alive and active.

i played tennis with A's kids today. they are sooooo incredibly well brought-up and sweet. I tell them that they served a good shot and they immediately respond with "thank you". if they hit a shot that's highly awkward and very far out, they yell out "sorry"

no temper tantrums, nothing. so impressive!!!

A, i don't know how you do a Phd in Econ with three very young kids but boy, do i respect you.
