Today was one of those days where I slept beyond my capacity. I wished for sleep to come take me again because to be awake was to hold myself to work. It was not that I was unwilling to code or finish my presentation but it was that the coding needed guidance, and the presentation, some verve. I slept in the hope that a verve would have filled me as I awoke; all I faced was insoluble work driving me to bed again. At dinner, I played the positive thesaurus game this time with the girls, not without the suspicion that they lacked interest. I had been right. As soon as I left the table to deposit my plate, Chandni, very casually, set the game down.
