I said yesterday that I had no words, and little has changed today. Like many, I was deeply saddened by the loss of Columbia and her crew, and a day of mourning for TTLB seemed an appropriate, if trivial, gesture.

But I do not think the brave men and women of Columbia would wish for us to wallow in this tragedy: so one day only it has been, and now it is time to move on.

Don't expect much more from me on Columbia; many others are covering the subject far better than I could hope to. But normal blogging, whatever that may mean, will resume around here shortly.

Update: It would appear I was mistaken. I did have something to say; its worth I will leave to others to judge.
