Pardon the interruption! Since I haven't been keeping up very well for several days, I'm just going to do like I've done eight or ten times before when one of these FONKU* kernel panics happens, and give in and take a vacation. I'm feeling fine, in fact never better, but all the same I need a little R&R. It's been a hard Fall, followed by big changes. I plan to do a little reading, cook some soup, get on the treadmill, continue practicing touch-typing, and take the TOP jalopy in to be repaired. On Thursday I get my first cardiac checkup since I started running on battery power. I can't wait. The news has all been good, except when it's been great.
TOP will return on Friday morning. That'll give me a nice break, and I'll come back rejuvenated and refreshed. Again, pardon the CLOSED sign! One thing I'm going to do is take the camera for a walk and scout some new pictures. Spring is right around the corner.
All is well, and I hope it is with you too.
Mike, Head Dogsbody of Creative, Editorial, and Secretarial Services
*Fear of not keeping up. The more behind I get, the more it interferes with work. That usually means it's time for a hard reset.

Everyone has to have a rest from time to time Mike and it sounds like you are going to be pretty busy anyway. Enjoy.

Enjoy your "vacation", Mike! It's well deserved. It sounds like you'll be pretty busy, but I get it--sometimes the CPU needs a reboot.
Speaking of which, here's a mind-blowing (to me, anyway; also, no pun intended) read on a growing area of research called basal cognition:

Have fun, sounds like a sanity boost. I just started a book you might like, 4000 Weeks, Time Management For Mortals. It’s the opposite of how it sounds. 4000 weeks is our typical allotment on Earth. Paraphrasing Greg Brown, let a spring wind blow your list of things to do away.
