Sailing

 The great thing about this blog is that hardly anyone reads it. It has never been picked by search engine crawlers nor has it been associated with my name. And that's good because it gives me a chance to maintain a simple journal without the pressure of entertaining an audience.

I've been working like a maniac this year. It hasn't been smooth sailing. Most times I've underperformed and I've taken a long long time to get to an acceptable standard of performance. Research is hard and it's harder when you have the broad span of interests I insist on pursuing.

I have spent the past two and a half years on a grand quest to tame something I have only begun understanding. My mind is working and it is squeezing a month's worth of work every 10 days. And still it isn't enough. I need to do more.

This year is almost ending though there are quite a few days left in December still. I will persevere and I will push myself all the way. If nothing else, I feel the excitement of this phase, the imminence of facing the music, and some measure of power pulsing through my veins.  

Allez, I guess.
