We received the following message* from Chad, the proud recipient of Trudy the Tetrahymena.

Chad went on to give us a science lesson..

“Did I ever tell you the history behind the name “Tetrahymena.” They have a mouth with four membrane lips or “hymens”. Perverts. Actually I started to explain that once during a talk ….not thinking of the connections to the female anatomy….the place was roaring and I was really red in the face.”

I love Chad and I am so glad he is married to my BFF. He is the coolest ever.

* The original message came via text in an email message. In my quest to win the “Who is a bigger nerd: Chad or Wendy” contest I put it in the format you see here. Complete with a stamp from Mexico! If I had more time I would have added Trudy to the postcard. Sitting in the beach chair with a boat drink. I rock.
