It is hard not to think about my job every single day. There are reminders all around me. For example,I was sitting on our porch reading a book when I looked up and saw a man who looked like a gorilla. The length and density of his upper body hair completely covered every square inch of his skin. It is 80 degrees and humid here and I cannot even imagine how hot and uncomfortable all of his hair has to be. It was making me sweat! And I shudder to think how unruly it was under his bathing trunks. I was daydreaming about going after this man with a hedge clippers. I can see the headlines now "Crazed New York woman attacks innocent man on the beach with hedge clippers." ~your Brazilian Botanist~
