The torture continues - Sarah has an extension to Sunday evening to finish her dissertation.
Expect more posts next week when I no longer have to spend all my time trying to get my wife to eat/sleep/stay sane.

You are a good man Walter! You know what they say, "behind every great man is a women. And behind every stressed out woman is man who is trying to make her complete even the most basic human tasks to stay alive! "
When I was at the University of Chicago, I saw a woman (who was in the over-long process of writing her dissertation) confronted by her advisor in the hallway.
The student was saying: "But I want it to be good!" and the advisor said: "Dear, NONE OF THEM are any good! There are two kinds of dissertations: Finished and Unfinished. That's it. You can write your book later. FINISH THE DAMN THING!!"
So, I say this to cheer you all on FINISH THE DAMN THING!!

Best of luck to you both on your quixotic quests!

Sheesh Bikeguy, I'm sorry for your partner (woman,women,man,men?) if you feel that way.
I have felt your pain. Hang in there.
