    Congratulations to your wife. Like you and others I certainly “ married up” and try to remember it everyday.

    a long time ago after meeting my wife Charles Pelkey told me I am a charter member of the Society for Ignorant Primitives. Congrats to you all. Quite an achievement. My life is much better because of my wide as I imagine yours is also.

    I met her when she was just starting her first year as a lawyer. Our first date was interrupted by a trip to Macy's so she could buy pantyhose for a trial the next day. Then we went to dinner afterwards. Pretty much set the pattern for a lot of things during our marriage. Many late night dinners. Many interruptions. Early on I recognized my role was to maintain a stable landing pad. And to pack my bags when the opportunity arose. So it has been great and I anticipate this isn't the culmination of her efforts, just the beginning of the good stuff. Things worth staying healthy for!

    People succeed in large part because of the ways that their communities support and join them. Nice work in helping to make this major achievement happen in your spouse's career.

    Does this mean you'll be in Paris full time, or is it simply a bit of back and forth?

    Congratulations to both of you. I’m sure she puts in more than enough deserving work but a stable landing pad can make a big difference.

    That’s an excellent pro tip there on the chocolate. I won’t even have to write that one down. Straight into the data bank.
