I’m finally crawling out of the weird malaise that little cold of mine put me in. It has been, for me, a very odd couple of months. It doesn’t help at all that it’s like sixty degrees here, more like spring weather than anything else. I can’t place myself. It’s miserable. As I write this, I’m watching The Long Morrow, a Twilight Zone episode … if you haven’t seen it, track it down (or let me know and I’ll see what I can do to facilitate). This warm winter weather and this aimless, timeless feeling have given me a renewed appreciation for this episode.

Little reminders keep popping up. Business taxes (filed monthly, or else). Friends starting classes again. Weird little server issues in the middle of the night. Running out of half-and-half for my coffee. Time passes, indifferent, inexorable.

At least one of you owes me a phone call. I owe several of you email. I’d like to take you all out for dinner (or at least have you over).
