[Vwoolf] Wednesday in June

[Sarah Cornish]

Thank you, Anne. I suppose this might mean that tomorrow (6/20) is
ClarissaDay, should we like to officially establish it as a Wednesday in
the middle of June.

So, I encourage you all to celebrate accordingly. Walk in your park. Buy
some flowers. Wear a party dress. Meet up with a former lover for a chat.
