I often marvel at mothers and the energy they must use and need. My exhaustion this weekend leads me to marvel even more. Also, extroverts? I sure wish i knew how you did it.

I rested a great deal yesterday. I was grumpy -- lack of caffeine? -- and read a much more enjoyable speculative fiction book: The Tomorrow Log by Miller & Lee. Much much more enjoyable than Michael Stackpole's first Age of Discovery book. As i can enjoy fantasy, i don't think Stackpole's use of magic is the differentiation, but the differences between gender portrayals might have something significant to do with it.

We watched several episodes of a early '90s series with Michael Wood on the origins of Civilization, interrupted by a call from my mother where she chatted about the June National Geographic with it's article on civilization origins at Göbekli Tepe in Turkey and on the nearby to me Fitzgerald Marine Reserve.

I did edit swathes of photographs from the recent past, a process that continues to be a restorative and somewhat creative activity. I posted to Flickr some photos from the June visit of my aunt and her husband to San Francisco. Right now i find myself more engaged in metadata.
