Only a couple of quick updates: The improv call was great. thanks to Sarah and Gene for organizing that with me. We learned that symbolic systems is actually a real major! Want details? email me. Don't want details? Email me anyway, but preferably about something else. And, most importantly, massive kudos to Monica Wegner for her spot-on impression of Mark Riccobono!

We didn't have Alex Trebek, but we did have Ethan Fung, and he did a great job. The Zesty pirates handily roasted the Geniuses, so kudos to Monica, Mausam, Aaron, and Kit. I guess I'm not a genius after all. Saturday, we will be having committee calls. First is Outreach, and then Fundraising, at 4:00 and 5:00 respectively. You can access both by visiting tinyurl.com/cabscommittee And that's it this week. Stay safe and healthy. Best, cricket -- Cricket X.
