That is an understatement! It's why we had to move. My wife and I are completely perplexed why any 17- or 18-year-old kid would even consider coming to Grinnell to spend the next 4 years of their life. Really!? Out here on the empty prairie? There is almost literally nothing going on, ever, except, for the students, a lot of classes. The students study hard, work hard, and never seem to leave the dorms or the major buildings to have fun.
& yes, about Iowa City. Has always been a majorly cool place. The university, of course, has a lot to do with it. There's a wonderful vibe here that I've tried to convey to people who don't know the place, and I cannot quite get it right.

I have some free time in August and I'm thinking about re-re-reading Anna Karenina. Why fuck around?
