Seven April Fools'

Seven years ago today I submitted my PhD thesis to the University of Auckland. April Fools' Day, the day for embracing random acts of foolishness and pranks.

What could be more fitting than to submit my doctoral thesis on domestic homicide that took me ten years of hard mental labour, emotional torment, tranquillisers and therapy to complete on such a day for fools as this?  I can't think of much.
Even so, I didn't set the date.
