General Report:
1. The fisherman has returned. The marathon Montana fishing adventure proved successful.
2. I sent another job application out into the world.
3. I have absolutely no idea of what to do with myself at present. I'm finding it difficult to relax.

Time to revive an old musing...
After I successfuly defended my Masters thesis I had a good month and a half with really very little to do. At least, in terms of my prior workload. The only fitting comparison I could make seemed to be the glacial erratic. Digging back into Geography 101, glacial erratics are rocks (both big and small) that have been transported away from their place of origin bit by bit, sometimes miles, by glaciers. You move about your little world, head down, eyes on the prize without any real sense of how far you've come. Then one day you look up, you're in a different spot, and the glacier has retreated to the comfort of the extreme northern lattitudes. A tenuous position at best, these days.

That is all.
