Some equations

This: Last month we signed a contract to have a new roof put in, with the understanding that they would be starting sometime in March. Last evening at 7:30, we got a call saying they would be starting this morning at eight, and they did.

plus this: A few weeks ago we canceled our "Preferred Basic" cable and downgraded ourselves to "Basic Basic Cable", which means we only get 20 channels. Last night we were watching channel 21, trying to figure out what they were showing, when suddenly one of the characters lets loose a string of profanities which included the f word. Dave and I looked at each other like "Can they say that on cable now?" After some sleuthing, it turned out that as of yesterday we were suddenly getting HBO, HBO2, etc, etc. At nine, Titanic came on. Commercial free. I hunkered down for the duration. (For the record, we no longer have any of the channels; they fixed the glitch this morning. Sigh.)

equals this: Whilst slumbering peacefully in the wee hours of the morning, I dreamt that Leonardo DiCaprio was fixing stuff around my house. What's most surprising about this dream is the fact that while most people agree that Leonardo is quite cute, it's Billy Zane who floats my boat.

That was my kind of math. Ready for some more?

This: My parents came up for the weekend. We had a great time doing the following things: eating, shopping, knitting (me and my mom), volunteering at the Union County Library Auction (me and my dad), and drinking (also me and my dad).

plus this: Henry spent lots of quality time with his Grampy.

equals this: I went to smooch Henry's feet this morning and they smelled like, well, feet. Yuck. I'm fairly certain he must have learned this trick from his Grandpa. Although, I suppose he could have learned it from his dad as well. He's too young to be smelling like a guy.

Some random math philosophy inspired by Henry. Math is like a sweaty sock : unexpectedly complex, not always pleasant, but you can 't walk a mile without it!
