Thanks, everybody, for your encouraging comments. And I'm sorry if I mistakenly gave the impression that I jumped out of my window last night by not answering any e-mails or responding to IM messages. I'm feeling better today; the two pieces of work that led to yesterday's message have been finished and sent to the appropriate place. I even answered a question in a lecture today...

Hmm. I saw a poster today that seemed to indicate that this week UNC was having a talk hosted by Dr. Jeffrey Wigand (the whistle-blower that Russel Crowe plays in The Insider), but I can't seem to find it on-line anywhere. Maybe it was for last year.

I am deeply disturbed by the indication that two of my friends back home have swords. Bicester isn't that rough yet, surely?
