awhyzipmade it to work before 10am today. feel good.
Took my laptop home with me last night, because Abba came by the lab. I decided to invite him for dinner and leave when he got here. When he arrived, I still wanted to make this little recalcitrant function work, but it wouldn't be fair to ask us to wait. So I packed up my laptop home, but once in the apartment, after dinner, after my dad left, I was able to hold with my better plan -- the one to not take work home with me anymore now that I am not in school.
It may have looked like laziness, but it was will that kept me from opening the machine back up.
I am reading "Illness as Metaphor" now, and "The Lathe of Heaven" by Ursula K LeGuin. The first book is by Susan Sontag. I found in the library of this apartment, and decided to read it because of hearing her speak at Vassar. "Lathe of Heaven" is for reading on the bus, but there's very little of it left now! Frankly, at this point in the book I am getting tired of the story. And one more book; I am reading "Komarr" at night, like candy at bed.

I have been reading through the whole series in the BORG library, and this is the last one they had. I will miss them. The only one I didn't like was the thinly-disguised short-story collection, called something or other ... "Falling Free"?
Excuse me for having to ask, but which Mike are you?
