    Hi Barbara and Ryan!
    Look what you started. Six years after you dragged me kicking and screaming onto the internet in order to better my Spanish the blog I started for your class has led me to graduate school and a grant in order to go to Argentina in order to study the group I discovered. I’m super excited! Hope all is well by you and the birds! Happy Thanksgiving from Boston.

      Emily!

      How lovely to hear from you and to see how your blog and your research have progressed! I am honored to have been there at the beginning and to have been able to give you that initial “puntapié” in order to help you get the ball rolling. Congratulations! Enjoy Boston for me!

      Flaubert and the birds say hi!

    Barbara – Do you have a springer? I loved mine. He’s in heaven now. I am so so psyched about the WP blog plug-in you guys made available. Thanks for putting it out there.
