Today I was always hungry! It was weird - although I had a regular, healthy lunch; by 3:30 I was so famished I had to leave work & get the usual at Tung Kee Noodle.

Long talk with L about the coming dark times. The rationality of the Yourdon article mentioned previously has convinced him.

"Facts are better than dreams."
