Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

driving the beach instead of the highway

Hah! Yeah, when I wasn't allowed to drive myself to or from chemo earlier this year, I got some grief from my family for giving them directions that avoided the interstate.

Incipient road rage has been a problem for me the past five years (I had to remove "March of Cambreadth" from my driving playlist). It has gotten worse the past two, due to my treatments. My emotions are much more volatile now.

One benefit of working from home this past year has been no daily commute. Mornings weren't so bad (so long as I was on the road by 6:15), I would use I-35 then, but coming home took twice as long, because I stayed off the interstate.

and being vigilant about my sleep

Yeah, that works for me too. The temptation to take an afternoon nap has become very strong, but I have learned to resist and work through it -- the few times I have given in, I had bad insomnia that night, and was useless the next day.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Lin-Manual Miranda has released the first eight minutes of In The Heights ... it looks good.
