One of the reasons I love Ben Folds is that, when a high school guys hands him a note onstage, he takes the time to read it. And when it turns out the note is asking Ben to say, "Rebecca, will you go to the prom with Jacob," Ben improvs a 4 minute, amazingly-complex song doing so. It even included audience participation.

In other news of awesomeness, here is Mulbery row, part of Monticello. The middle of spring break might have been a little stressful (I think graduate students should get 2 weeks, because it took me the whole week just to get caught up on other school work), but the surrounding weekends were pretty swell!
