So, in addition to posting at least three times this month, I have also managed to exercise quite a bit more, alternating a 45-minute weight workout every other day with at least a 30 minute aerobic outing (jog-brisk walk).

I've also done more reading this month than I typically did last year.

Here's what I've read:

• Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, Eric Nylund


• 1632, Eric Flint


• 1633, Eric Flint


• The Essential Epicurus: Letters, Principal Doctrines, Vatican Sayings, and Fragments, Epicurus (my new favorite Greek philosopher!)


• Rocks of Ages: Science and Religion in the Fullness of Life, Stephen Jay Gould


• Together with the current issues of Analog, Architectural Digest, and National Geographic.

On deck: I'm planning to tackle some Nietzsche (in German and English), re-read some Heinlein, delve into some more historical fiction, and maybe peruse Dawkins' The God Delusion, but I'm open to suggestions. As you can tell, my tastes are quite flexible.

Update: I forgot to mention that I also finished re-reading Fallen Angels in January, too. Interesting with the climate "science" meeting going on right now. Maybe Niven, Pournelle, and Flynn's weather prediction won't come true, but it's clear that they have some deep insight into human nature, especially the politics of state-funded science.

Only three entries last month. Gotta fix that.

I hereby resolve to post more than three entries per month in the coming year. After all, I used to post almost three a day.

Other resolutions:

Exercise more, with greater intensity. Eat better. Read more.
