...second!
As of 11am EST today, we gained a second. More specifically, a second of time was added to the Caesium atomic clock in Greenwich, UK. Why? It was to accommodate for the fact that the Earth's rotation is in fact slowing down, as it gradually loses minuscule amounts of energy in its inexorable spinning through largely, but not totally, empty space. Guess we all slow down a little as we age. Sad huh?
What did you do with your 'leap' second?
With all new years come resolutions. One I had way back in 2000 was to put the date on every piece of work/notes that I created, and was one that I've kept rather well. But what of this year?
1. Drink less (aim for 3 alcohol-free days a week?)
2. Exercise more, or at least, regularly (3 times a week?)
3. Keep in touch (physically, telephonically, or internettingly)
Yup, basic and boring, but just what the doctor ordered, methinks. Have a great year.

But you ARE the doctor.
Well not the doctor, but a doctor, anyway.
