Hey Mom –

Remember when I used to play in the dirt? at the zoo? at school? in that space between the concrete pad off the back door and the side of the house, when I was supposed to just go out to feed/water the dog, and instead/also I’d build mud puddlesexperiment with primitive civil engineering techniques?

Apparently, that dirt may be keeping me healthy in grad school.

    So relieved, all that Florida sand and New Mexico mud is keeping you healthy… When I was little, my mother put me in clean clothes 3x/day; no wonder I have health problems. I just let you stay dirty all day.
