I recommend the reading of Epicurus to everyone, especially the Letter to Menoeceus, which is only 5 pages long and probably available online. More in the morning.

Run over a possum today. Had to run over it again after the first (relatively slow - I braked, but not hard enough) blow didn't kill it but (I think) crushed a lung. So it goes.

Working now.

Am at the Math library, desperately trying to convince myself that I should work.

I'm thinking I should start posting more, even if it's just "what i did today" type entries. It would at least force me to give some thought to what I've managed to accomplish each day, which sadly often isn't much. Anyone want to lay odds on whether I'll follow through on this better than I have on any of my previous resolutions?
