If we were 17 years old and back in high school, gearing up for final exams that we most definitely did not study for, because instead we took a road trip to Vegas to see Dead & Company, because you only see Bob Weir sing "Bertha" once in your life, we would most definitely do everything in our power to make sure that our parents and the school nurse never found out that the word “abracadabra” was used many, many years ago as a magical remedy for fever. But because the gang and the 80,000-plus humans who read this newsletter are mostly adults, these are things we luckily don’t have to worry about anymore. And our bosses read this newsletter.
