10/11: getting un-thrown

An inappropriate late-in-the-day email from a co-worker threw me for a loop.  I wrote my response and forwarded my concerns to people higher up so that I wouldn't brood about it all weekend.  And then I read A. E. Stalling's new translation of The Battle Between the Frogs and the Mice out loud, because it was too rhythmic and ringing to read silently.  Emma the Cat sat by me and listened.
