Many days ago I was working hard on Very Important Documents, and immediately thereafter I went into a vegetative state. This afternoon, out on a walk, it suddenly occurred to me that in one of these VIDs I had misspelled "Jacobean" as "Jacobian"*. Then I thought, No no no -- I wouldn't make that mistake. And then I forgot about it.

But just now the bee returned to my bonnet, and I checked. Shit, shit, shit.

This is not so bad as the time I swore up and down that Stephen Sondheim had nothing to do with West Side Story** (my only defense: I was in a bar), but I do expect a pair of surly agents of higher learning to show up and revoke my MFA.

*Actually, a Jacobian revenge tragedy would be kinda cool:

**Which is true, except for that whole "writing the lyrics" thing
