Once again, I'm up too early. I suspect I'll stay at work too late.
Walking outside this morning again reminded me how much I enjoy camping, especially cold-weather camping. The sun wasn't up yet. It was quiet and still. Chipping the ice from the car seemed to make the loudest sounds I've ever heard. What I really wanted to do was start a fire, pull a chair up to it, and enjoy a cup of coffee or two.
Instead, I drove in to work (the roads are still terrible, but better than they were yesterday), powered on my computer, pulled a chair up to it, and enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate while typing this journal entry. I'm now about to embark on my unrelenting quest to conquer this piece of code with which I struggle.
BTW, I'm really glad that we got the car with all-wheel drive. I've heard stories of people spending an hour trying to get out of our parking lot at the townhouse. I was able to just put the car in drive and go.

I think one of the reasons I can make writing code sound romanticized is because I believe coding is as much -- if not more -- art than science. Lots of people can write code that will solve a problem. How many people can write code to solve a problem that has a sense of beauty to it, as well? You know pretty code when you see it -- something about it just calls to the geek soul in you and brings out something special, something precious.
