Good morning!

It’s Friday, and it’s our last Friday the Thirteenth until next June. Triskaidekaphobes might approach this with apprehension, but I see it as a particularly auspicious day for admiring the miracle of this tree together.

“It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.”

—Epictetus

But also...

“What is a straight line but a bent line that has persevered?”

—G.K. Chesterton.

Respiteers, won’t you join me in our imaginary pavilion at 2pm EST today to talk about the jig-jags in our own trunks? As always, please check your inbox right before the hour.

Onwards we go, even if it requires a slight turn now and then,
