An aggressive easy run around the Charles River. I had planned to go kayaking this afternoon after internet was installed in my apartment (woo interwebz), but I dozed while my mp3 player was charging, and didn't get up until 5 PM, when Charles River Canoe and Kayak would be nearly closed. After reading about the Brackett gamma transition, I set out, continuing part 5/7 of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. I'm happy with my pace, but it was challenging. I don't have realistic hopes for victory at Boulderdash, but I will fight as though I did nonetheless.

Truly epic oration:

Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the new world, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
