Just for Daniel Quinan.

Fine, Quinan. Here you go.

Meanwhile, what is going on in our life? Well, Marie is pregnant, I am on spring break, and South Bend's weather is South Bend's weather. It's fluctuating between 35 and 55, which is actually reasonably nice, I guess, considering spring is 6 days away. We are staying in for Spring Break, cleaning up the apartment (never really got moved in) and catching up with friends that we don't see enough of. It's a little weird having this break which does not coincide with Easter like it always did at TAC, but it does mean I don't spend a day of break fasting, which is not that bad. Marie is still struggling through morning sickness [:(] so we generally have been sleeping in and staying up late, since she generally gains energy as the day goes on.

We moved in January, news which was never really promulgated since we were still telling our friends about Bean and the move was a giveaway. We are now on the 3rd floor of a different building in the same complex. It's much better, since the heat comes through the floor and there is no one overhead to creak the ceiling. Instead, we get to creak the ceiling and listen to the chaos of a building filled with small children. (For those of you who don't know, we were formerly in a 'Married Students w/o kids' building and are now in a 'Married Students w/ kids' building.) It's mostly the detritus of the move which is now being cleaned, along with hanging stuff on the walls, etc. (I know, I know. What can I say? Law school and morning sickness got in the way - I'll let you figure out which went with whom.)

Finally, I eagerly await the beginning of the NCAA tournament, especially since Notre Dame has a fighting chance this year, or so I tell myself before we flame out in the second round. Marie seems to have resigned herself at this point to the myriad basketball on TV at all hours of the day and night; she's a very understanding wife.

I would provide more details but I think this is quite sufficient for now. (e.g., you'll take what you're given and like it!)
