Arrival out in Los Alamos has marked a major change in my life for each of the last three years. It makes a convenient marking point at which to take care of certain bookkeeping tasks. For instance, I just went back through my email inbox and cleared out stuff that was no longer relevant. My MIT mailbox shrunk from 205 messages to 8. Mouser.org went from 72 to 16. Something about those statistics bothers me, especially since I delete messages that aren't important when I get them. So at some point in the last year, 253 emails that I considered "important" sat around for so long that they became useless. Oops...
