Today is the last day of February, and across campus the World's Luckiest Kids are griping with a superhuman zeal. Midterms are approaching, the need to show leadership in extracurriculars is growing, and judging by that smell, a giant baby has spit up in your common room (or maybe that's just my common room). We Harvard students live in a tourist attraction with movie stars and geniuses; we're recognized on all continents as the crme of the brulee, the syrup on the pancakes of greatness.

At nearly the exact moment that Clinton gathered the Joint Chiefs to confront the unpalatable implications of a ground war to salvage the stalemated air campaign, Milosevic handed him victory...
...Sleep until noon, have a great brunch and get a jingle from my sons saying, 'Love ya, Ma.' Take a long walk in Central Park and see a movie with the man in my life for the last 30 years. Snooze off later, counting myself among the luckiest Moms in the world, and dream that every mother everywhere had the chance to enjoy the same kind...
