Just a short note to let you know that we are taking a little break this week to spend time with our families. We are so grateful for them as we are for our friends, students, and colleagues. We would also like to pause a moment and thank all the wonderful firefighters who have been battling the wildfires in California. Did you know that some of them are current inmates in the California correctional system? May their work bring them a sense of gratification and may they go on to find meaningful work when they are released. You can read more about them here.
