It’s true, I can’t deny my nerdiness.  How do I know this?  So yesterday I developed a fever.  When it kept going up despite taking Tylenol and using cold washcloths, I had my wife take me to the Urgent Care center.  On the way back, with my fever approaching 103 degrees, she hit the brakes a little harder than I expected.  I grabbed the handle above the door.  “Are you okay?” Angie asked.  “I’m fine, there was just more delta-p than I was expecting.”

That’s right.  Instead of saying something like “you braked too hard”, I commented about how the change in momentum was more than I expected.  What a nerd.

Fortunately, my fever has dropped considerably since last night when it peaked at 104 degrees.  Maybe later today or tomorrow I’ll be coherent enough to write the post I’ve been wanting to write about creating USB boot disks.
