Thanks also to Bridget and Victoria, for your reads of many ugly drafts without ends, and to Harvard Ryan, for late-night Thayer adventures, and Will, for putting up with a dreamer for so long.
And thank you, as ever, to Ed. This was a long one, but we woke from the nightmare together, and I’m glad to find we’re still holding hands tightly now that we’re awake.
