Clear and sunny today, if cold, a lovely solstice morning. The days will be getting longer from here, which I find reassuring. That doesn’t exactly solve the problem since January and February are notoriously gray. Weeks with no sunlight don’t thrill me regardless of how long the days are.

I’d still rather live here than in New Mexico though.

Clear and lovely as it is, it was completely cloudy at 3am when I tried to check out the eclipse. Disappointing!

Welcome!

I’ve been doing stuff with string for quite some time, and describing it to others online since 1996 or so at Phiala’s String Page.

I also do some science and write some fiction.

I’m Phiala most places on the internet.
