there's a slashdot story today on the sex life of ants. i stayed out of that one.
i noticed i had a cup of coffee here. it took me a full minute to remember having gone downstairs to fix the coffee. the strange thing is this is only my second cup today. my usual pattern is
is computer and coffee all day long. the other cup has sweetened iced tea with tamarind. that's not a punchline, it was just the thing that keyed my memory of having gotten the coffee and crumpets.
