Done yesterday (20090908)

( raw notes )

A good day. A walk, a couple of good insights, new meds for Colleen, music, conversation about poetry, music, and growing old... yeah. Good day.

I've already posted about the insight.

Naomi suggested that a lot of my free-floating anxiety (also see the Wikipedia article) may be due to the fact that I'm getting old, and starting to deal with a transition as unfamiliar and scary as becoming an adult in the first place. Yeah, there are probably some songs about growing old in my near future. They're my way of coming to terms with reality.

For today's link sausage we have Siegfried Sassoon -- a selection of his poems can be found here. He started out as one of the WWI poets, and later wrote about growing old. Detect a theme here?

Also, 97 Things Every Programmer Should Know - it will eventually become a book; right now it's a wiki, with the list of edited contributions here.
