Jen K showed up late last night and the kids adore her. They swarmed around, competing for her attention, rattling off theories about various subjects. We stayed up past midnight talking about philosophy, and history, and the vicissitudes of medical science. The children interrupted each other and talked in bursts of words, sentences, ideas tumbling so fast I could barely keep up.
Now the kids are off to school and the day is bright and chilly. I wonder what parts of Cambridge I should show a visiting academic? I haven’t figured out much except grocery stores and bicycle repairs.
Good thing I have a guidebook!
