I finished one set of slides but Freya doesn't want me to start on the other set of slides. Or do anything else, really. Except pet her!

Evening couch-computer work interrupted by cats
I sit in my pink over sized sweatshirt with two cats on my legs; a mackerel tabby and a tuxedo kitty sit cuddled together. My green socks are from Hudson valley community college!

This lab photo looks like modern art to me:
5 columns of black EcoFAB 2.0 gaskets, each of which is placed on a white paper towel. The picture was taken in a fume hood, where the parts were drying.
