I've been sick a lot recently. I don't know if it's the changing season, the stress at work or the adjustment to our new lifestyle (probably a combination of all of these and more -- let's not forget moving into middle age!) but I was largely out of commission today with a cold that has been dogging me for three weeks.

It was very much a stay-indoors day anyway, with crap weather and nothing on the agenda regardless. We spent the day chatting and catching up, and I got a lot done with the new photo management system I've been building. I added some 1100 new photos to the tool, and started winnowing out the losers and moving the keepers into collections. I'm also trying to keep all of the information about camera equipment and locale and whatnot sorted. A *lot* of work.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.
