Oldy and coldy! Temps are heading below 30s for several nights! Huddling up with the space heaters and eating spicy foods to keep my triple-heater pumping. Have a C&M class tomorrow and a full roster of classes and activities in the coming week. Plus have several extra activities that will also need attention.

I awoke myself in a dream I was having last night. In the dream I was telling a group of people what I had discovered while testing a module we had developed. I had discovered through rigorous testing that our code didn't randomly seed itself when it started. It had been designed to always start with the default seed and thus always produced the same sequence each time it was restarted. We could fix by either rebuilding the code to always start with a freshly chosen random seed. I showed how I had tested the original code and how I had discovered the error. I was explaining all of this to everyone when I realized I was talking out loud. My voice was echoing about the bedroom. I realized that my neighbors would be hearing what I was saying--that it might wake them. That realization woke me up and popped me out of the dream state.

Two weeks already zoomed by in the new 2013 year! How fast the time goes even when I don't do anything! The minutes, hours, days zoom past--clicking along with the atomic clocks--throbbing with the pulsing of the universe. Time to rhyme! Time to dine! Time to make the planets shine!
