A quick one while he's away

I've been feeling wholly awful lately -- work has been stressful and my health (both mental and physical) has been better.

(Now would be the time to give my excellent partner full credit for propping me up and keeping me going through it all.)

But this little article I stumbled across while trawling the NY Times for Pynchon articles really lifted my spirits and inspired me.

I think I'm going to try this. I probably won't make it past day two, but what the hell, I feel perkier just thinking about it.

While I'm at it, I always find the Times' Pictures of the Day feature worth a look and today's is no exception. Be sure to check out the last photo.

Look familiar?
