I felt much better when I woke up this morning and as a result, I had a productive day at work today and it felt good. The day concluded with a two hour meeting. Kelly was waiting for me at the mall when the meeting was over and we headed home together. It was a quiet and relaxing…
I’ve been reading Walter Isaacson’s biography Einstein of late and enjoying it very much. (Although even it’s non-mathematical description of relativity has pushed my understanding to the limit.) At noon today, I dove into the book and disappeared within it. I read 35 pages during my lunch hour, which for me is impressive for non-fiction. …
Still sick when I woke up this morning. Last night was the third night in a row that I slept in the guest room in an effort to prevent spreading this cold to Kelly. Don’t know if it is working. This evening Kelly was saying that she might be coming down with something. I’m not sure…
Been sick all day. I felt like I’ve laid around in bed all day–or at least most of the day. Passed the time that I wasn’t in a NyQuil induced sleep reading more of Einstein.

That book was the only of his books I ever read, and I very much enjoyed it. I read the book well before the movie was ever made and though I enjoyed the…
Waking up this morning was like coming out of a long, dark coma. The the skies here in Virginia were overcast and rainy, it nevertheless seemed bright and sunny to me. Our hope has been returned. Our pride has been returned. We can once again be the nation that helped save Europe from Nazi Germany…
The major networks have just called it. I am just thrilled. Thrilled! I don’t think this will sink in until tomorrow. But it will be more or less a landslide. I’m so proud of my country today!
I have often wondered how people come up with puzzle questions. They must have to be really smart to figure them out. I was thinking about this one night, while drifting off to sleep, and I came up with the following puzzle question of my own. I don’t know how easy or hard it is, but here it…
