Today was a rather abnormal day.

Deprived of sleep by the glorious Physics, and delirious with hyperfine structure, I set out to greet the new day.

Something, it seems, was amiss. As I walked down Main Street, past Murphy's and Everything But Anchovies and even the local hardware store, I noticed that nobody was around. Not a soul in sight. No unwavering bands of light, as the esteemed Rabo Karabekian would say. Odd, I thought. So I dejectedly walked home, now deprived of human contact as well as sleep. All this, of course, was complicated by my previous night's dream. No Fairy Land awaited me. So I got home and started to meditate, hoping for a vision of some sort. No dice. I then started back out to face the world, but I really couldn't be bothered. So I had an Eggo with some real maple syrup instead. My hunger thus destroyed, I headed out to play some Ultimate. That worked okay. Then it was off to lunch, and then to work. Work is good, because I get to play with a free electron laser. And now the day is done, the sun sets, Taps is coursing through my head, and I node contentedly.
