“The Microbe is so very small


You cannot make him out at all,


But many sanguine people hope


To see him through a microscope.”

“The Microbe”, by Hilaire Belloc, 27 July 1870 – 16 July 1953.

And a song …

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!   (It was 2025, University of Califonia Santa Cruz, 1953 and 1959, Mum, rather than 2925, Harvard 1955 and 1958!!!!!)

†        It was that, Debbi … !

        I think there’s been a few leaked pictures of Molly, posted online, Debbi.   So, yes: that’s her, alright.   We’ll have to see how the performance goes, in January …
