Good Morning, Keynes.

I have mini-goals for the year, since they say it takes 21 days to make a habit. One of them is blogging more, rather than once a season, or whenever one of us has a milestone. Because let's face it, Pratik never writes on here! :) I really started this to keep our families updated since they're all so far, and our friends just get to benefit from it, too! And I love to express my pride for my husband's accomplishments because he plays them down. (Yes, Pratik, it's truly no big deal that you're presenting at the American Chemical Society meeting?)
I often write funny stories on my Facebook status about Pratik and I because it feels a little like an episode of "I Love Lucy" sometimes. (I married a foreigner who often thinks I have some 'splainin to do?) Usually Pratik is annoyed with my quoting him (often unbenownst to him as he never checks his Facebook.) But I recently found out that his labmate Dave quotes him often on Twitter. So if Dave can do it, I can, too! Let the stories commence:
The other morning around 8am I was taking a shower before work, when Pratik busts in the bathroom spouting off about this new book he got from the library on John Meynard Keynes. I would quote him, but I scraped by my econ classes with all of my might...and it was 8am, so I had no idea what he was talking about anyway. There I was minding my own business, getting ready for work and all of a sudden I'm getting a full on lecture about Keynesian economics. "Excuse me," I said, "but I'm getting ready for work, and I really don't get this stuff anyway. Remember the last time you lectured me from the pages of the Wall Street Journal at midnight and I fell asleep?"
"YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS STUFF!" he exclaimed. "WHAT IF I DIE?"
Because John Meynard Keynes is exactly what I would be thinking about at a time like that?
This is proof that my husband has to become a professor.
