Dear Meg,

I am honored to be your boyfriend this week, although I was at first disappointed when I saw that I only got a 95.6% rating. Then I realized that I lost all those points for working hard, and I realized it was a badge of honor. You may think I work too hard, but based on your "what I've been reading this month" page, I think you spend too much time reading books!

When the movie first came out in the theaters someone who I had never met, or even heard of, emailed me directly about it (rather than getting her mother to do it). She was in the humanities rather than the sciences, but she also happened to be another MIT professor, so she understood the bit about working too much. We're getting married in August. Actually, she hated the movie.

E-smooches.
