Oh, my word, Brenda. That's lovely.
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Weekend: tonight-- clean a little, slounge a lot. Tomorrow-- grocery store, work, laundry, find a place to eat too much sushi. Sunday--Costco, more laundry, more work.

I was FREEZING in 1993. I was a little NM girl wearing a wool coat that was really not warm enough (heaviest one we found at JC Penney's in LC) and I was a human popsicle. But I remember Maya Angelou, and I remember a glimpse of Hillary on the parade route.
...and the porta-potty neighborhood on the mall. But still!
I want to be there. I may not plan to have kids, but I have nephews and tutees, and this is History for me. Like I was in the USSR a mere month before it fell, I want to mark it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, now I'm watching Rachel Maddow, and she had Laurence O'Donnell on, and at the end of the (serious, informative) segment, of course they have to talk about the dog issue. He says he was backstage at Grant Park on Tuesday, and overheard Michelle talking about the possibility of "the two-dog strategy." ON ELECTION NIGHT. I just love that this is actually the biggest issue in their family, around this whole thing.

Oh yeah, of course by 1996, I meant 1997.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Weekend: JZ took Matilda to meet megan walker and go to the anti Prop 8. rally.
Emmett and I are watching The Simpsons and he's being a total freakass butthead. (Too many boy hormones loose in that kid and probably not enough exercise today.)
Son? You. Must. Chill.
Instead of attacking me incessantly for 20 minutes while laughing like a gibbering maniac. Sheesh.
Rest of weekend: Make Emmett run around the track at Kezar Stadium until he collapses in a heap. Maybe a movie, like Madagascar 2.

I have something for Matilda! Maybe I should try to get up to SF.
Someday.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Wrod, Jesse, on the Summers front. I mean I get that he can be all knowledgable about money and still be a dick, but SIGH.
I have one student who claimed to be 'heartbroken' over the presidential election. She's so naively partisan that I actually felt some sympathy for her. After all, I was heartbroken in 2000 and 2004.

There's GOT to be someone who is knowledgable about money AND thinks women can be good scientists, you know?
