Kinsey's grandparents are in town! Specifically, G-Mama and G-Daddy (i.e., Sarah's parents), and that means she's been having a blast hanging with them, and Sarah and I have had a mini vaca from our girl. It's weird, though: we've (or at least I've) gotten a lot of work done the last few days, but I miss that little girl so much. On Saturday night, while she was at G-Mama and g-Daddy's hotel room we were left to our own devices at our apartment and didn't quite know what to do with ourselves, so we worked. Eventually, though, we got it together and walked around Midtown, had a drink at The Lawrence, and dinner at Il Campagnola, and generally had a great night. I took this opportunity to get serious with The Second Sex, and, no that's not some euphemism. It's a real book, by Simone de Beauvoir, and I've been reading it, because I wanted to, since we own it, and I thought that all the weird stuff happening in American culture and politics as they pertain to women in our culture and women's rights, was pretty messed up. And I wanted to read this 733-page seminal text in feminism for the sake of my wife and daughter, and I wanted to write a review of this book (published in translation in 1953) and see how it holds up to today. I'm nearly 200 pages in. So I've got a ways to go, but the idea is to finish by the first week of June, so good luck on that.
