Not long ago my daughter was telling me about a recent date: her boyfriend took her to a large acacemic library, and "Mom, you wouldn't believe it, they have shelves that move!"
Next time I'm in despair because ignorance is a renewable resource and nothing I do seems to make a dent in the supply, I'll comfort myself with the knowledge that I have raised a child (a) whose idea of a terrific date is a visit to an academic library and (b) who can get really excited about shelves that move.

What a cool daughter you have! And I still get giddy about moving shelves, too, although I always worry I'll get stuck in them!
Ah, a date in the library ... that sounds wonderful! It has just the right combination of academic nerdiness and sweet quiet.
