I have structure in my life. When I get up I go for a bicycle ride (one day a long route [20-25 Km] next day a short route [5-6 Km]), when I get home I eat breakfast, I sweep up the around the outside of the house (a lot of flowers and leaves falling off the Mango trees this time of year), take a shower and go out to have lunch at a local place.
After lunch I usually go on the internet for an hour and maybe take a nap if I feel like it. After that I go out and have a few beers, take my dog out for a run (he is an old dog and can't run too fast anymore) and get home for dinner around dark because it is too hot to eat in the afternoon until the sun goes down.
Then I go back on the internet to check my email and maybe do a little programming. Later in the night I watch the English speaking news (Channel News Asia or AlJazeera) and watch a movie or two. Then it is off to bed and when I wake I start the cycle again.
That is about as much structure as I need in my life.

It's 41F here so it's probably me! It was 70+F yesterday when I got home from visiting family and today it's 41F high for the day.

Woke up to -2F, currently 19F. No whining, just shivering if out too long.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Someone suggested that.

I was reading on my old replies questions here and on SO. As I went to the earlier ones, frequency of, "bloody hell! I don't remember these things any more" kept on increasing.
Never happens with pr0n though. We sure are intelligent species.

I need to read my own articles and tips to remember how something works...
Sometimes I'm even like "I didn't know I knew that!" 
I could describe all my emberassing moments of the past 26 years in full detail though.

Sounds like an article.

What, including the time you forgot how to spell "embarrassing" on a public forum?

We forget all of our wisdom, and remember all of our foolishness: without that we could not live as if the inevitability of death does not exist, and waste yet another day being superficial.

"All numbers are prime numbers." Said the professor, "1 is a prime, 2 is a prime, 3 is a prime and so on."
"But wait professor, 4 is not a prime!"
"Ah, wait a minute", [Scribbles on Blackboard], "OK, change of theory...All ODD numbers are prime numbers! 1 is a prime, 3 is a prime, 5 is a prime, 7 is a prime, 9 is a prime, 11 is a prime, 13 is a prime... and so on"
"Seems ok professor, except that 9 is not a prime".
"Hmmm, let me check," [Scribbles on Blackboard], " No I am right, they are all primes within a standard deviation"
"What exactly are you a professor of?"
"Oh, I am a Liberal Arts Professor at the University of Reading"

My salary is a prime number. Or, if not prime, at least very important.
