Well, guess I'm permanently using Apple Maps. Feckless, tyrant-appeasing Google Maps on the left, has-a-spine-at-least-for-now Apple Maps on the right. I'm so absolutely sick of being humiliated by both my own government and the corporations that keep pandering to our decrepit POTUS.

Back in Toronto after a quick trip to Boston/Cambridge to celebrate the Isberg lab's 40th anniversary. It was great to catch up with lots of good friends, including the "6 cheese, 4 artichokes, 2 tomato basil" that decided to come home to Toronto with me. #pinocchios

"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone." - AB Giamatti.
