The husband: Did we have a favor at our wedding?
Me: Yeah. An open bar.

Turns out, I remember enough Spanish from my eight years of studying it to translate a whiskey bottle. My Spanish professors would be so proud.

@lscantron Look, working reunion weekend as both a student and an employee pretty much prepared me for anything in life. And golf cart races remain some of my fondest memories.

Getting to write about @Wellesley and science history was amazing. So happy to be a part of this gorgeous issue of @Wellesleymag! https://t.co/PJq5zRwVuP

People need to understand that it’s *hard* to get rid of the Target receipts from 2020. What if I need them?

Just put “The Trinity Session” on repeat like it’s 1997 up in here.

I got to interview some amazing recent grads for this @Wellesleymag piece on entering the workforce during a pandemic. Hearing and writing about their stories was a privilege. My job rocks. https://t.co/Ppb9ArfrnY

@lscantron My team, Not Without My Dogs, will be coming for you. I mean, in that friendly, "my dogs will lick your face while we walk" way.

Brutally honest employer about the piece I am about to work on: "Okay ... so it needs Jesus." Dammit, Jim, I'm an editor, not a miracle worker! #freelancelife

@lscantron @GenCounsNews Why would we want to?

@lscantron @Wellesleymag @localmujer_ @ramsdellgrace @catograce I think I'm going to change my job title to "pinch editor" from now on. It's like a pinch hitter, but with a higher OBP.

For the number of different songs I know about women named Jolene, I have yet to actually meet anyone with that name.

The main problem with watching Jonathan Knight’s home improvement show on HGTV is that now I’ve got “The Right Stuff” stuck in my head. #nkotb

“Steely Plan”? I’m loving it, @lscantron. Always a delight to read your latest in the @Wellesleymag. Glad they’re managing to keep some part of my beloved old campus around. #crankyoldalum

@quicunquevult My for-real, honest-to-god reaction when I read this part of the book in high school. Took a beat for me to be like, "Oh, he was quoting Moby Dick!" Only thing that made reading the whole book worth it for me.
