It’s not just a matter of getting to leave the house and go back to the office today; this day deserves a 👍 on multiple levels.

NB: I am currently about 6 hours behind in my timeline, and so undoubtedly shitty things have happened that I just don’t yet know about. Let me enjoy my bubble a little longer. Thx.

PS: I love that after the last few days 18F is sufficient to meet our mutual definition of “warm.”
So. Many. Books. That have come out in the last few months, and that I am dying to read. I need a month to spend on my sofa, in which there are no meetings and this website ceases functioning.

My students and I were discussing @robinsloan’s Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore today, and one of them suddenly said “hey you’re famous!” She’d found @rgay’s review, in which she cited my first book.
