For the Intern Charles Petersen
Charles, this is why I’m called Charles:
Charles Wesley, cofounder of the Methodist church and the composer of 6000 hymns, my favorite of which is “Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending” (“Lo! he comes with clouds descending, once for favored sinners slain/thousand, thousand saints attending swell/the triumph of his train/
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!/God appears on earth to reign”).
Now, Charles Petersen, why are you called Charles?


Personally, I prefer to think of myself as sui generis.
Still waiting for my intern slog powers to kick in.
