Progress Report

I am on Long Island this weekend with Bryan and his parents for Bryan's grandmother's eightieth birthday. In the course of looking through old papers this afternoon, Bryan's dad found some of his old school evaluations. My favorite is from the second grade, in which Mr. Salt writes:

He "carries" and "borrows" very very well and has made huge strides towards doing and understanding the work we've done in times and division.

An adequate appraisal of my husband's schoolwork, and a prophecy about the man he would become.
