| Focus | |

| ---------------------------------------- | |
| I recently wrote [0] about a desire to focus my time and energy on | |
| one thing at a time in an effort to see something to completion. | |
| I'm addicted to hobbies--that's the nice way of saying I get | |
| distracted by new things easily. | |
| I'll put that focus to the test over the next two weeks while we | |
| take a vacation to see family. Rather than bringing a hodgepodge | |
| of things I settled on two books on Haskell. Learn You a Haskell | |
| for Great Good, by Miran Lipovaca, and the O'Reilly book, Real | |
| World Haskell, are sitting next to me and have already been | |
| getting a good deal of attention. I'll pop on SDF here and there | |
| to check IRC, phlog, email, etc, but otherwise I'm going to try my | |
| best to keep focus. | |
| I'll miss my slide rule, and my spinning wheel, and my Shakuhachi, | |
| and all the other things I love to play with. They'll be waiting | |
| at home for their turn next. | |
