FORCED
VACATION,
1/1/2006-7/1/2006. Apologies to my readers. I almost ruined my
eyes in 2005, writing 32 papers for this site alone in the last 8
months of the year (as well as countless other pages for my other
sites). I have bought a new computer screen and rested my eyes:
hopefully I can now carry on, if not as before, then with all
available energy.
