My upper-respitory infection has not gone away yet. I saw a nurse practitioner and got some antibiotics for the infection, some glucocorticoids for the inflammation of my bronchi and a cough suppressant. With any luck I’ll feel better for lifting and life in general by Monday morning.

Wednesday Night

Due to the craziness of the flooded house situation and an event at my daughter’s school, life got in the way of Wednesday morning workout. Instead, I went to the gym after work.

That was enough fun for one night. I went home, showered and finished the book I’ve been reading: Anathem by Neil Stephenson.

Anathem

I’m not good at book reviews so I’m not even going to try. But I will say it was a very good book. At nearly 1000 (dense) pages, it’s no light read. But if you have the time for such a commitment, I highly recommend it. The plot is somewhat complex; I won’t go into it much here. The themes it covers are interesting and diverse: Phenomenology, Platonism, quantum mechanics (especially as it relates to consciousness), logic, geometry and even aperiodic tiling problems. If any of that stuff interests you in even a little bit, go get the book and read it.
