Drew makes the big time!

So, while I'm at home putzing around on a magazine story, Drew goes and gets himself INTERVIEWED ON NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO'S "ALL THINGS CONSIDERED." Here's a link:

Really, there's not much more to report from here, except to say that Rachel's reaction after Drew came home from work and told her he'd been on the radio, was: "Daddy was on the RADIO!?!?!" and she jumped up and down in excitement and danced with him until it was time to set the table.

She has also been very solicitous about my bruised pinkie toe (it's swollen and the inside is black and blue), telling me tonight as I was getting ready to heat up some pot roast and rice: "Mommy." (she said sternly). "Take off your apron, Daddy will build a fire, you sit on the couch and rest." (It was snowing like the dickens outside, so Drew built a fire to make the house seem more cozy. It worked!).

And this morning, after she inquired about the state of my foot and I told her my toe still hurt, she climbed in bed with me, snuggled up close and said, "even though your toe still hurts, you're still the best mommy I could ever ask for."

I immediately felt better. A little.
