They also tend to match-up well with the Martian nearly 24-hour day. Leap years are added, about twice the standard for Earth years (Mars orbit is nearly twice as long, so...), but a day on Mars should approximate a day on Earth, where Saturday is Saturday and Wednesday is Wednesday -- approximately. So, I can match dates and align events for writing about a future life on Mars and keeping timely contacts with Earth relations, where a one-way transmission may take anywhere from 4 to 24 minutes to arrive, then the wait for a reply to be compiled and transmitted. SOL is another bitch -- sorta like gravity. The main trouble I'm pounding through with the calendar is including Gregorian, Martian, Hebrew and Muslim calendars to the mix. It gets kinda thick.

Good excercise and diet are keeping me healthy, so there's that. My family does <em>not</em> observe good safery and hygiene procedures, though. Honestly, I'm surprised they haven't caught it already... Aside from a scare back in November, I’m doing fine. Good excercise and diet are keeping me healthy, so there’s that.
