Guten Morgen aus meinem kleinen Zimmer in der Jugendherberge. Wir kamen in Wien um 10:00 Uhr am letzten Abend und haben sich in der Herberge.

Memories of Days and Years Past
Hello from the Fog and Flame, It has been a morning of mishaps, but I guess that is to be expected as I am attentively, and somewhat in intensely, trying to make sure I have covered all my bases before the day is out. However, I need to relax and is often the case, myContinue reading “Memories of Days and Years Past”
Attempting to understand what appears to be absurdity, but perhaps isn’t
Hello from my getting home after a long . . . I am not sure if it has been a long couple days, a long month, a long campaign, or seeming to be perhaps a long life.

Slowing Down
Good early morning, It is barely 4:00 a.m. And I have been awake a bit more than an hour. In the past couple of weeks I have been in bed more times than I can remember before 8:30 at night. It does mean that I wake up earlier than I might wish, but that is perhapsContinue reading “Slowing Down”
My Response to Faculty Vilification
Good morning from my office, I got home at 1:15 this morning and it is before 8:00 and I have been up since 5:30.
