Today is a new statutory holiday in Ontario: family day. Happy family day! I have no classes today, but also no classes this week (it's "reading week", and most undergraduates have skipped town to do whatever it is they do when off-campus). It's a strange occasion for a holiday.
This post's theme parallel US holiday: President's day.

Keyboard bruise
I discovered a mysterious bruise this week on the side of my left middle finger. It puzzled me. I didn't remember slamming my hand into anything, and none of my other fingers were bruised.
I figured out later that this bruise was self-inflicted by typing control-W, which I do with my left pinky and middle finger. The command closes windows. Apparently I close a lot of windows in my daily use of my computer. Bizarre.
This post's theme pop-health observation: women bruise more easily than men. Just look at my fall earlier this week. Even my womanly subcutaneous fat didn't cushion me adequately.
