A funny thing happened on the way back from voting. Perhaps this note to my students explains it best...
"Dear Class,
I'm without a car this morning. Normally, that's not a problem.
However,
I walked up to where I vote when the rain had let up, and on the way
back (and it started sprinkling again), I decided to take a shortcut.
Again, normally not a problem.
I
jumped off a small wall and, thanks to all the rain the night before,
right into grass-covered muddy spot (the grass was longer than it
looked, probably because the tips were just peeking out of the silty
puddle). My shoes are muddy, as are my once-clean pants, and I'm still
laughing at the absurdity of the situation.
At least I voted, so there's that.
I'm
going to get cleaned up (NOTE TO SELF: Just because most of the
Avengers (except the Hulk - he's a mess) can jump off walls and
buildings and not get muddy, it doesn't mean I can do the same thing), and then work from home.
The
lab, of course, will be open for you to work on your projects. If your
teams want to meet elsewhere today, I'm okay with that.
I
also think that perhaps you, too, might be debating on whether to vote
or to come to class. I'm not really a political animal, but I do think
elections are important, even if my vote only counts as one among
millions.
We will have class Thursday.
And I will not be muddy.
Thanks,
LD"
I hope you vote today, even if it's just to cancel out my vote. I'm okay with that.
