So, a new version of the CASEL website is now live, which I proposed, designed, and wrote. In, you know, six weeks. Still cleaning up little glitches and gilding the lily, but also mighty proud. casel.org
Fun fact: I was seeing a play last night, and when we were back in our seats after intermission, they told us we had to stay in our seats, and that the play wouldn't resume until AFTER THE TORNADO SIRENS STOPPED. It was thrilling. I felt like a Von Trapp child in a thunder storm.
Grooving through the house with dance music on the earbuds doing chores and meal prepping. I'm part my mom and part the roommate from The Terminator.
!!!ATTN!!! I heard on the NPRs that Jewel (the singer) has invented a word. "Matriclysm": A combination of "matriarchy" and "cataclysm" THAT IS ALL. RETURN TO YOUR BUSINESS.
