Anxiety

The anxiety mentioned in my previous post was a matter of authorial jitters. I sent off the paper yesterday, and was immediately assailed by doubts. (Could something so simple really be new? Did I use the notation correctly? Did I phrase that sentence well?) This morning I checked a usually-reliable online reference regarding one piece of notation, and its version of that notation was somewhat different from mine. (It wouldn't affect the substance of the paper, but it would require a little editing; besides, it's embarrassing to misuse notation...) However, on reaching the office I consulted two other sources - one 19th-century monograph and one current textbook - and both use that notation the same way I do. So at least that worry has gone away. The others remain...

Over the last few hours the weather has shifted from gentle rain to freezing rain to medium-heavy snow. This morning's paper predicted a chilly but clear day. Fortunately, I wore my down jacket and stocking cap. That's the Midwest for you - the weather is rarely if ever boring.
