jaipurAt my grandfather's memorial so long ago now, someone described Granpa "always going full speed, until he stopped"--at which point they had to pull him and his snowmobile out of a snowbank or pick him up from where his horse threw him, or whatever. :) I thought that was not a bad way to be (if a bit impetuous; but that was my grandmother talking!).
Today was one of those days when I channeled my granpa--it was non-stop, one active meeting after another all day, about everything from the basics (when I was meeting with a new grad student) to getting an abstract out, to finishing a paper (meeting with someone farther along!), and let's not forget an hour and some of a fairly energetic lecture toward the end of the day. In between I had 20 minutes here and there to get an email out, check a draft letter of support, clean up a biosketch, address this or that. Full speed ahead!
And then I came home at 6 pm and fell asleep on top of the hubby, napping in front of the TV for half an hour. ;)
