Dear friends,
I wanted to post something long and thoughtful and laudatory here tonight, but in the end I decided there is no better way to say it than to just say it plainly. Please go directly to Regina Schrambling’s web page, gastropoda, and read it now.
I’m trying to decide whether I am so impressed with her ruthless honesty, wicked humor and verbal grace that I want to aim for the bar that she has set, or whether I am so intimidated by all of the above that I just want to pack up my laptop and go home. Either way, she leaves me lost in admiration.
