Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI): If I could just interject once with my colleague — I think your mom probably did.
Nine satisfying forms of contact

Me: Yes!
Stefan: I'm good on the phone. My bete noire is eye contact.
Me: I like to think of you as an Aryan Ira Glass, if that's possible.

Me: I used to be a DJ, remember?
Stefan: Yes, but at Smith don't they call it a VJjay?
