There are some stretches of freeway that are maddening. One of the worst, though, is I5 south through most of California.

Once you get past Nebraska things liven up a little. It’s still driving alone across the country, but there’s often something to look at.

It is soooo good to see you writing again. Even without internet next week, I hope you’ll find time to write and save until you can post. Or go hang out at a Starbucks and post. You need to finish the story!

without command line access I could never fully enjoy a Mac.

my senior year in high school I took calculus with a teacher who loved the subject. he took the time to show us why imaginary numbers (based on the square root of -1, which is impossible) were necessary to calculus.

getting a glimpse of our brain’s ability to accept and work with something we know to be impossible was a life-changing experience; somewhat like leaning against a brick wall and having it swing open like a door to reveal a world I didn’t know existed.
