Overkill ;-)

Due to my summer bachelorhood I had decided to make an effort not to blog every day... and I went a little overboard. A couple of days of deliberate abstention from blogging, followed by a couple of days of travel, and I fell out of the habit.

Unfortunately, several of the worst of my living-alone habits have returned with a vengeance this year. Exacerbated by the complete lack of on-site consulting engagements this summer, my usual summertime lack of external time cues from family members has totally destroyed my sleep/wake cycle. My body, if left to its own devices, would setting into a 28 to 30 hour cycle. It's doggone inconvenient that the earth rotates in 24.

So, anyhow, I'm going to get back into the blogging habit. I almost blogged yesterday, because I was reading about the damage to the space shuttle wing caused by the foam, and I failed to understand how the relative velocity of the launcher and the foam could have almost instantaneously reached 525 MPH, but I found this excellent explanation.
