I love your family.
Funny story about Mr. Negroponte: (one of) his daughter (s) was mer's housemate and good friend in college. And slowly the house realized that Marina lived, not only in NYC, but in the waldorf-astoria. And that her dad wasn't just some politician, but some big shot politician. Who would be going to iraq to do stuff. Etc etc.
Good times in the 'League.

From now on, I will cite these two bulletpoints when people ask me "How would you describe Alice, in two bulletpoints?" Let's hope someone asks me that.
I was going to ask who Mr. Negroponte was, but Corinne's reply told me.
