a peek inside our marriage

these days, with joel in class or studying 22/7 (he gets a couple hours of sleep), and me working on various and sundry projects, we take our conversation when we can get it. im-ing during joel's anatomy class is a regular treat (when he doesn't have to concentrate too hard on the lecture).

this blog is mostly here for me - to preserve my memories of these whimsical conversations.
feel free to eavesdrop if you'd like. ;)
