Chalk one up

to productivity. No 'naps' tonight, whether 5-hour or 15-minute, and I'm still going strong. I've also talked to two friends on the phone, one for quite some time. Now my phone's charging because we talked the battery down to almost nothing and I'm going to head to bed, maybe read a bit before turning in. Maybe I'll read some Thoreau--it's the 195th anniversary of his birth. Good night!

Quote of the day

It is never too late to give up our prejudices. No way of thinking or doing, however ancient, can be trusted without proof. What everybody echoes or in silence passes by as true to-day may turn out to be falsehood to-morrow, mere smoke of opinion, which some had trusted for a cloud that would sprinkle fertilizing rain on their fields.

--Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Thank you, YKWIA, for a wonderful Hanukkah present. I'm enjoying Thoreau immensely, although I haven't gotten that far into his writings yet. :)
