Still recovering from last week...

...the writing weekend, the Sloan-C workshop, trying to finish updating Ch. 3 of my dissertation (which I didn't quite do, but I sent it to my committee anyway), trying to catch up at work (after being gone for the workshop), and then a sick child and husband (strep throat--AGAIN!). Whew...!! What a week! It's Sunday, we're about to start a new week, and I'm still recovering from last week!

A Twitter friend (chrispenny) posted this quote today...

"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent; it is the one that is most adaptable to change." --Darwin

This is true at even the most basic level--just being able to adapt to the changes that occur in one week can be a most daunting task, but it's necessary for our very survival. The ability to adapt to change is almost its own special type of intelligence.
