plans awry.

while drinking coffee this morning, i made a "mathematιcal list of things to do." it contained 6 items. i thought that the first one -- editing the preprint -- would take at most 2 hours.

after 5 hours or so, i gave up.

if i change the setup of the problem, too many technical issues come up. at this point i won't be as careful as i should be.

i'll work on it tomorrow then, when i have it more firmly in my head.

this is why i don't plan very much for the future, anymore. )-:

on the bright side,
the next three items took far less time to do. (-:

so: two more to go. \-:
