RIP, Theology-and-Geometry.com.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a wonder I ever had time to write, even so crappily, back then. I was working 51 hours a week at three jobs and going to school full time. It truly is remarkable how much more time I have now that I work a steady 40 hours every week with no homework, but it&#8217;s alarming how quickly time passes now, when it seemed at times to lag then. So, in effect, I&#8217;ve got more time, but it passes me by in quick clips that I can&#8217;t even begin to catch up to.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s, in part, why I even bother with this blog. It&#8217;s part ham radio, part documentation of events that I might otherwise let fade into the grey of my memory.
