Harper, I love that book! And Caitrin, if that's one of the most disgusting experiences of your life, you are either very young or very fortunate, or both. Not, I hasten to add, that it's something I enjoy. Metchosin, the onion continues to peel...I'm impressed, in an uneasy sort of way.
My thesis, since I know you're all interested, was on the transmission of neural impulses through peripheral cell clusters along the posterior pedal nerve of the great gray slug, Limax maximus. It was not, shall we say, one of the finer examples of scientific endeavor to come out of my university.

Aloha,
Mark
