Good morning!

[mdlbear]

The longest night of the year is over; the sun is up and the morning is bright and clean after yesterday's rain. It's a good day for feeling hopeful and optimistic, so I think I'll do that in spite of having had very little practice lately. Perhaps a good day for Getting Things Done.

I had a nice warm bath last night, slept well, and woke up feeling better than I have in several days. Apparently I've managed to dodge the Martian Death Flu and the Zombie Cold. So far. Wish me luck.

A number of people on my friends list wrote thoughtful Solstice posts. I meant to, really I did, but instead I ended up hacking on the makefile rules that pull together the CDROM portion of About Bleeding Time. Better that way, I think.

I'm going in to work now -- to catch up on my email, hopefully do a little actual work, and bring my laptop and a couple of other things home so I'll have them next week to get ready for travel.

Good morning to you all!
