Students are doing their final loads of laundry in preparation for packing for home, so I'm booked with dinners every night this week, and even a breakfast. Tonight Jackie O and Click made sautéed zucchini and spaghetti with meat sauce. As soon as the dinner was over, they started studying for their Greek final exam, which eventually turned into avoiding studying with a conversation about where marriage and children might or might not fit into their future plans for their lives. I hope they both eventually find life partners like the one I have. My conversations on the phone with Bear are growing more and more pleasant as he starts counting down the days until I arrive. How do you thank a man who agreed to saw off his right leg so it could go off climbing mountains on its own?
