A few joyful events came to pass this week. First, the Happy Skull Hat reappeared. It was sitting in a chair at John Jay College, next to the entrance to the swimming pool. Apparently it had been there for days, given that I hadn’t been in the building since the previous week. Much to my astonishment, neither students nor custodial staff had picked it up. I like to think that it was because it gave them the creeps and they were worried about the consequences of such an action. If you, gentle reader, posted any sort of return-the-lost-object spell on my behalf, I am deeply grateful.
The following day, an even better thing happened. Yes! Even better than finding my lost hat! It’s true!
Specifically, Pablo got a promotion. He is now a Senior Editor at Oxford University Press. I am deeply proud of him. Congratulations, sweetie. For his part, although he is sometimes reluctant to accept good news at face value, he is struggling valiantly to see it as the recognition of his time invested, effort, and talent that it is. Every time he considers doing otherwise, I smack him upside the head. That seems to help.
My trip to Australia is now less than three weeks away. Can’t wait!
