Hello all, hope this email finds you all feeling fantastic. It’s Thursday the 13th, a totally nonauspicious day.
April is a prehensive time of the year. Writers as grand as Whitman and as mean as Eliot have penned prose and poiesis of picaresque scenes set in the strange state of “April”. My best friend in the world is born this month, but I don’t hold it against them. They’re Taurus so that’s not even really April-ish, right?
That’s not to say I don’t appreciate the month for its unique charms. In the wondrous state of North Carolina (which is in the process of requiring its state universities to scrub their ADA Accommodation & Disability policies from their syllabi!), it was a beautiful afternoon yesterday. The cats sat in the window with me as we enjoyed the breeze.
Gotcha! These posts aren’t always going to be as serious as I usually make them. Sometimes it is important to just chill, relax, and cook some stuff up in the lab (which is definitely not what I have been doing).
Solidarity and love,
H
