On Mondays, I take the train up to New Haven and spend the day with my study group, the Working Group on Globalization and Culture at Yale. It's really tough for me to leave Ada, but when I am there among the most creative and brilliant people I know, our brains and ideas put together, I am glad for the time away. Still, when I get back on the train, I get all antsy -- I can not wait to get home. This was the last day the group met for the year. When I got back into our Brooklyn neighborhood, I joined Ada, Chris, and Uncle Michael for some special time by the little park on the river, and covered my little baby with hugs and kisses.
