I am wide awake and feeling energetic this morning. And not because of the coffee - I have only had one sip as I begin setting up these web pages.
Model trains have been occupying me for much of the time. I have been surprised at how interesting it becomes as one begins operational runs. The switching, both that involved while picking up/setting out during a trip as well as that involved in setting up a consist for a new train, has been particularly fascinating. I still encounter difficulties on many of the sessions, but these are now usually of a minor nature such as dirty track or improper tracking due to poor wheel sets.
My efforts in Mathematics have been slower than expected. Other areas that I rate high in interest are the CS5 version of Dreamweaver, STELLA simulation software, and APL.
As the weather begins to improve both Photography (scenery, birds) and Geocaching become more attractive.
From the Calvin & Hobbes comic strip, "The days are just packed!".
