Her father was not just a saint, but a doctor. Not just a doctor, but a surgeon.
A heart surgeon.
And yes, a saint. A humble heart surgeon. We talked about him here, remember?
No son in law can match that. And yet she said this, did Jane, a graduate of a better law school herself, a Jewish daughter of a Jewish heart surgeon saint, and it’s what I keep in my locket, or engraved on the inside of my pocket watch, or what have you — here’s what it was she said:

It is. And I’m scrubbing.
