Exceptions

White rabbit, white rabbit, white rabbit!*

Now that I've got that detail taken care of, I can wish everyone a happy New Year.  

There are, of course, exceptions.  People who are particularly hard to extend a loving kindness metta to.  

Moving on to more positive thoughts, I can vouch for this recipe:  cacio e pepe from research published last year in Nature.  Two thirds cups of cheese to a scant teaspoon of cornstarch turns out to be the optimum ratio.  

Here's a toast to a better 2026...
