"Last week was fall break, and since Math Man had a series of talks to give in Honolulu, I broke my trip back from Japan in Honolulu. Yes, I realize life is tough here. We enjoyed a couple of days on the big island of Hawaii, watching the growing lava lake atop Kilauea (it was about 54 feet below surface of the caldera when we were there, clearly visible, and it rose 20 feet yesterday!), hiking into the caldera of a volcano that erupted when I was a year old, and where the lave lake is still cooling...."
I started drafting this post last week, but in dribs and drabs as I tended to other obligations (make-up lectures, department meetings, letters of recommendation...). I finally finished it on Sunday afternoon, but it refused to format nicely and dinner was nearly ready. No matter, I thought, I'll just save it and figure it out later.
Clearly, I'd left it parked in a browser window too long. When I opened it up this morning to finish, it was all gone but those first lines. Towed away into the sea of data.
I hate it when that happens.
