The Student in The Basement

My hard-working husband has been on study leave for the past week. In a dark corner of the basement, he can be found doing this every waking hour....Yes, that is a microfiche viewer. Doesn't everyone have one? It makes my eyes hurt just to see the very small, very faded, Latin print on the screen.

He used to spend his study weeks in the Reading Room at the Folger Library...

...but he tells me he prefers the basement. Hmm.

It must be because we bring him snacks.

  1. Wow- that library is gorgeous! But there is something wonderful about being at home. I am so impressed with his commitment to his work!! By the way, your kids look JUST like your husband! :)
