First, let's all have a moment of thanks that the DNA shipped to me from England for a work project is alive and well. This is quite the miracle given that it was stuck in Customs for a few weeks. Thank you to all of the higher powers that made that possible, as well as those resilient little (very, very little) double helices.
Second, thanks go out for an amazing week in Atlanta last week, volunteering at the International Rescue Committee. They are doing incredible work, helping refugees/clients from all over the world start new lives in the United States by teaching them English, helping them acclimate to the culture, and generally sending them on their way to becoming self-sufficient and productive members of the society in their new home country. I felt welcomed by staff and clients alike, and so fortunate to live in a country where I am allowed to decide what religion to practice, politics to believe and clothes to wear without any concern for my safety.
Third, a happy boyfriend and dog awaiting my return... as well as the enormous M&M cookie purchased for the occasion. Yum!
Finally... this gorgeous weather. Enough said.
