Standing Still

It is appropriate to acknowledge a long gap in posting.

What is it about standing still that creates a fear of starting out again?

Momentum is the life blood of academics. In thinking about the gap in blogging all I can offer to explain it is the existence of final exams. This has somehow created enough reason to ignore the blog. I know I was more productive when I was blogging each day, but was that because I was less exhausted or does the causality run in some other way? For example, discharging a thought or two as the day began allowed me to refocus on the tasks at hand while preserving my notes about what I woke up thinking about.

Well, I will see if I can get out of this torpor now that the semester is over...
