![]() That’s not a euphemism for anything it’s just accurate. TG has always had a strong independent streak. (The phrase I kept using was “quivering mass of Jell-O.”) And while there was a slight catch in my throat at the end, TG was so palpably excited that it was hard to feel anything but excitement for her. I had expected to be an emotional wreck at the final goodbye. We went back to campus afterward to explore a bit, take a few pictures and say our goodbyes before TG started her new adventure. She graciously invited us to join her and her family for lunch afterward at a terrific Vietnamese restaurant, which was the perfect way to break up the day. ![]() She and TW hit it off at orientation in July, and they picked up right where they left off on Thursday. One roommate is the daughter of Anne Hofmann, an English professor at Frederick Community College whom I knew a little from Twitter. I’m sure they’ll add bells and whistles, but it already looks established. Her roommates seem very much like her: as she put it, “we’re all tall, smart, progressive women.” (At 5'9", she’s the shortest of the three.) Within less than two hours, the room went from uninhabited to fully organized. TG is in a triple that looks like it was designed as a double, so my initial impression upon arrival was that there was no way everything would fit. I had expected long lines of cars unloading, but arrival times had been staggered enough that we were able to pull right up. Unlike our experience at UVA a few years ago with TB, the process at Maryland was quick and easy. The travel gods had mercy on us and spared us rough traffic, which isn’t a given on I-95 on a weekday morning. I stuffed the Mazda to within an inch of its life so we could squeeze everyone and everything into one car. We did our major goodbyes on Wednesday night, so Thursday could be devoted to driving, unpacking and driving back. And some rope.Īll my social media links, website, newsletter and YouTube can be found right here.On Thursday, The Wife and I dropped off The Girl at college. Be sure to pack some pipe weed and plenty of munchies. ( Presto and Voila are both great starting words, by the way!)īe well, young Hobbits, on your trek toward Mordor. The moment I had ‘IR’ I though ‘IRON’ and the moment I thought that, I thought of irony.Īnd just like that, presto voila! I snagged the win. ![]() As far as I know, there aren’t a ton of 5-letter words that end with ‘I’ so I immediately assumed it had to go in the first box. What I did know was this: The ‘I’ had to go either at the beginning of the word or at the end of the word since all three middle slots were out of play. ![]() Braid actually narrowed my possible solutions down to just one at this point, though I didn’t know it at the time. It sounds fun-and also kind like a lot of time spent watching movies I’ve already seen.įrom here, I decided to guess a word that tested the two yellow letters-’I’ and ‘R’-in new spaces, and seeing if any other vowels were in play. I might even binge Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy this weekend with the kids. I guessed shire for my first guess because I’m getting pretty excited for Amazon’s The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power. Sure, it’s nice to get it in only two, but I’m not complaining. They worked out about as perfectly as a three-guess game of Wordle can.
