Come on everyone, show Hursty some love on his big day.

Hi Dan et al.,
Good to hear from someone. Oh Boy, it's a bad day! My monkey, Maggie, is refusing to do anything. She doesn't work on Mondays. That makes getting out of graduate school difficult. I present my dissertation proposal on Wed. I can think of a million, probably more, things that I'd rather do.
How is life treating everyone?
I hope well.

Hi, Kristin, I'm still here. Please don't go insane.
