I make this entry only to demonstrate to the world that it is possible to completely reverse the timing of one’s day: a week ago I worked late one night, and ended up not getting to bed until 4:05 a.m. This morning I awoke at 4:05 a.m., in time to catch the 6:05 a.m. flight to Boston.

So far I have not had a nervous breakdown, but the day is early.
