Too embarrassed/hungover to blog today. My shame will have to subside first.
So I’ll leave you with a poem by Sprog 1 that sums up my mood …
As dead as a dodo
As pale as a ghost
As flat as a pancake
As dumb as a post.

She’s doing a “writing extension” class. The do stuff like eat chocolate and then describe what an alien would think of it. She loves it!

I hope you come back from the dead asap. Nice poem – your way with words must run in the family. Unmortifying the dodo – seriously – is a topic that’s discussed in scientific circles. The Smithsonian people think that resurrecting the dodo is unlikely ref http://www.smithsonianmag.com/specialsections/innovators/shapiro.html, but the recent discovery of an intact skeleton in a cave in Mauritius might help – you never know.
It took us humans only about 60 years (1600 to 1660) to make the dodos extinct.

I love dodos. Poor, stupid birds.
