My left shoulder blade is hurting. I discuss possible causes, how it's affecting my triathlon training, and a possible remedy (dry erase board topped-desk which I can stand at). Walking up the hill I wonder about getting a new computer, imagining a touch-screen tablet.

My day to bring treats for the staff? I wonder about this, as well as my obligations, responsibilities, and social demands in the mini-society of the faculty and staff.

Valentine's Day: Paper airplanes to the children in my room. My opinion about today's holiday. Reminiscing about my favorite Valentine's Day -- Romania, 1997. A letter from a French pen friend arrived yesterday -- answering my note from a few weeks back. After years without contact, a letter. Thanks Melanie!

Past time for pruning roses. Benzyl alcohol in the mouthwash ACT isn't an alcohol? Pondering paper airplanes -- how large could it be? Biology close to the speed of light.

Composting problems due to my negligence. A history of how it happened and how it's being resolved. Tech problem? Always check the owner's manual. DVD Recorder now problem free.

Super Bowl recap. Presta valve mishap. The surprising fun of riding a bike on grass. Opening a Slim Jim at the base of the hill for a student. Would she have asked me two months ago?

I wonder about the placebo effect with water. Is it possible to induce intoxication with water? Three sets of footprints on the infield. Where does the energy of photons go once they strike your retina? Future street construction coming to the hill?

Rain-delay of my swim workout. W-2 reports US$14,209.14 income for last year. What's a fair salary for my time and effort? I don't know. Political rant: Presidential candidates twenty-two months before the election. Serenading seagulls release a beach tale from a few months ago.
