How I know I've really, really, really got to concentrate on my writing: I turn the radio off and put Billy Taylor on. Perfect music to work to. Just spotted that iJournal has picked up on it from iTunes. Spoooooky.
Hope it works - got to get column and a couple of news stories done by the end of the day. Which, realistically, is about 4.30pm as I'm interviewing the Provost of Yale then (he's a Brit, with a PhD in chemistry from Cambridge - he even did his PhD with one of the desperately eminent retired professors I share an office with). He's then giving a lecture to the department, and there's a reception afterwards. And then I have to drive home.
Oh, and I'm off out to lunch at Browns with my sort-of-boss here Steve Ley et al in a bit.
Maybe the writing will prove easier after a couple of glasses of wine? Tis often the way.
I'm trying not to think about the fact that my alarm is set for 4am tomorrow...
