From the quizzically named I’mDonut? comes this ending to the first day of the new year…which is perhaps a rebuttal that you, Yuzu Champagne, are in fact, a dessert! #nomnomnom 🍾🍩

Happy Hump Day 1980s Music Flashback: I have no idea why this song got stuck in my head but now I have to watch the Jon Cryer movie with this in its soundtrack, “Hiding Out” - the one about the finance guy avoiding murder by disguising himself as a high schooler? Ah…1987!

Thankfully team and I are all ok and RISD people seem to be fully accounted for and (physically) unharmed from the incident at Brown (adjacent campus). Shelter-In-Place orders now lifted. And we got the first snowfall of the season overnight (continuing) so it’s a good day to remain inside.
