Tired

For some reason today, I feel especially tired.  Not so much physically, even though yesterday I forced myself to jog three miles non-stop.  But, instead, I feel mentally tired.  I think part of it is the time of the semester.  Part of it is the lack of a "real" Spring Break week for me this semester (I spent the week working even harder than usual helping students prepare for a national meeting). 

All I know is that I am feeling pretty damn wore out mentally. 

Also, even though I plan to write about it more in the morning, I need to note how my friend, BBC, will be absent for a spell.  He is planning the start of a journey that will keep him away from the Internet for a while.  I hope that the time away is brief, for I enjoy his perspective, his humor, and his insights.
