and really wild things

Some of you, especially those who work in Kendall Square (which is an awful lot of you, these days) might have heard that the building I work in had a slight problem with being on fire today. I just wanted to mention that I and all my coworkers got out, and will be paying a lot more attention to evacuation routes in the future. My coat and sweatshirt got a bit saturated with foul-smelling smoke, but I didn't breathe enough of it to need treatment. I'll be working at home for the rest of today.
