All day at home, without stirring at all, looking after my workmen.
All
day
a ho ho,
ring king men.
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Tuesday 18 December 1660.
Dave Bonta (bio) crowd-sources his problems by following his gut, which he shares with 100 trillion of his closest microbial friends — a close-knit, symbiotic community comprising several thousand species of bacteria, fungi, and protozoa.

Perfect!
Had no idea who Pepys was until last week. I was looking through an Isaac Newton biography for Newton’s correspondence with my hero John Locke, and I learned that Pepys and Locke had a mutual friend in Newton.
