2/8/2006 - Charles Lutwidge Dodgson
Daniel H. mentions that I have, perhaps, entered the elite company of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, as people who walk more than is strictly healthy for themselves.
A quick google search shows that Mr. Dodgson was born in the 19th century, studied at Christ Church College (Oxford) and gained some renown writing treaties on mathematics.
He died quite suddenly in 1898, after contracting what originally appeared to be minor cold. I could not confirm this, but perhaps his penchant for outdoor walking was to blame.
I shall be sure to bundle up.
12,200 wondeful steps today. Cheers,

I'm sure there's more to it than this, but Dodgson was quite unable to sleep. He decided that he must walk more during the day in order to sleep, but this did not work. He decided that if walking more did not allow him to sleep, he must walk much more, and so on until he happened to die. sleepless.
