Some quiet time...

Galina's sleeping in for a bit, which leaves me some time to arrive at some conclusions regarding things that've been going on.

Like the realization—during our drive to New York—that dry ice, for some reason, seems not as efficient as water ice for cooling down the contents of a picnic cooler (although with dry ice, there's no risk of getting everything wet!).

Like the realization, upon seeing copies of books we have in the basement among the books offered for sale at the Glen Cove Boys & Girls Club fundraiser, that such books are neither rare, nor in demand.

Like the realization that I have to hunker down and get back to the point where there's too much work coming in. January and February were pretty dismal, work-wise, and although March was decent, it still turns out the relationship between my eggs and my baskets is far from optimum. I also need to realize that "wordsmithing" is not restricted to only translation.

Additional philosophy will have to wait. I've just motivated myself.

Cheers...

Have you considered going back to writing articles for IT industry? You'd be very good at it, and it pays nicely.

Superior minds think alike, apparently. ;^)

Good day, Alex. I heard this report on the Colorado Matters radio show today and I thought of you. It's a brief interview with a guy who found some debris that had fallen to Earth and traced the object back to its original launch in Russia in January of last year (if I'm remembering what he said correctly). I wondered, as I heard the interview, if you might have been at that launch (I am sure there are tons of launches that go on, so maybe it's unlikely).

Here's that radio segment:

The range of stuff that survives re-entry is pretty amazing. As far as the piece being from a Proton launch—and more specifically, one of my Proton launches—I doubt it. My most recent campaign started about two weeks short of a year ago.

P.S. My connectivity is sketchy right now, but I'll be sure to follow up on the link when my connectivity returns next week.
