Second Funny Face Found!

A second funny face was found in our house, this one was hidden underneath the fake brick which lined our kitchen wall. It is at least 5 times the size of the original and his a similar message to Laurie, “Good Morning, Laurie.”

When the kitchen is finished this wall will be painted an orange hue complimenting our antique white cabinets, navy blue sophet, and chrome backsplash.

Spring Break pics finally posted

Katie, Artie, and I headed to Washington D.C. with Artie to visit uncle Pat and Homer.

We visited some famous sites.

And we got Artie a haircut.

We stopped briefly at home then it was off to Chicago to visit Becca and Henry.

We caught a game at Wrigley field.

Saw some Art and visited the giant bean.

The end.

More pictures here.

Recent data points to a startling fact: teenagers may have other things on their mind while in math class. Today a student asked me, “will ’slope-intercourse’ form be on the final exam?”

Engagement Ring

Engagement ring goes down drain, garbage disposal turned on, diamond lost.

Husband’s fault, bigger diamond would have jammed.

Triathlon Training Begins

I’d like to participate in a triathlon before I turn 30. Here is the first mile of training. p.s. Don’t use this to stock me.

Geometry for my dog.

Artie, please consider the pole problem. You know, we’re on a walk you go on one side of the pole I go on the other then we have to unravel. Since, “make sure you’re on the same side as me” doesn’t seem to be effective communication, let us try a more rigorous approach. Consider yourself to be a point, D (for Dog), I’ll be point O (for Owner), and let this pole be point P (for pole). Now consider the direction that I am walking we will call this vector v, construct a line perpendicular to vector v which contains point P and call this line l. Now find the intersection of the line that contains O and is parallel to vector v and l and call this point Q and construct another point R such that P is between Q and R on l. Consider ray PR, do not allow point D to coincide with any points contained in ray PR. Follow this simple formula and segment OD (aka “the leash”) will not become entangled.

Podcast Locations.

Now that I’m a podcast junky, I’ve noticed that I tend to listen to certain podcasts in certain locations. It’s not 100% but they’ve all seemed to find their own geographical category.

What Teachers Make

Merry Christmas.

Just wishing everyone a very merry Christmas! And, testing out the new flexible keyboard that Katie gave me. It’s a little funny to get used to but tons of fun. Well, back to the dishes and maybe a walk for Artie.
