Housekeeping

I'm traveling to Korea for my new job tomorrow, but the impact here at PMD should be minimal as far as posting goes. There will be at least one dated post for each day, as there has been since December, but there might be slight delays (or even early postings; I might get tomorrow's post done today, for example).

The discipline of doing the blog is very good for me personally -- even therapeutic, you might say. Especially during periods of unemployment, you need a focus for your positive energies, a place to channel your excellence. Whether it's a personal project like this, or volunteering in the community, or some other focus, it's terribly important to have something; without it, the nasty corollary of unemployment, that feeling of not being needed, will suck out all your life energy. You are needed.
