There remain: 17 new essential images to draw 6 essential images to update/complete 1 important fact to check. andContinue reading “September 18 Day 559: A Labor of Love”

June 2 Day 451: Virtual Math Encounters
Today was the last teaching day for Spring quarter 2021 at UW Tacoma. I could tell by the posts of my friends that this has been one tough term. Perhaps the Facebook quote by Peter Selkin says it best: What if you had your last class Zoom meeting of the year and NOBODY CAME? (IContinue reading “June 2 Day 451: Virtual Math Encounters”
April 20 Day 408: One Step Closer
Today was Zachary’s first vaccination. Washington State opened vaccinations to people 16 years and older on April 15. I found a drive through site in Dupont administering the Pfizer vaccine with open appointments last week and this morning we drove the 30 minutes (with traffic), to the location. It was extremely well-organized. The concentric circlesContinue reading “April 20 Day 408: One Step Closer”
April 7 Day 395: Second Hope
I’m waiting my 15 minutes, followed by 2 more weeks. I’m surprised how emotional I feel. There is a lump in my throat and tears pool in my eyes as I thank everyone involved from the volunteers on crowd control to the RNs dispensing the coveted elixir. I can finally imagine visiting my family inContinue reading “April 7 Day 395: Second Hope”
March 20 Day 377: New to Me

Not a color I would choose if I was buying new, but I’m not complaining. Black with black leather interior andContinue reading “March 20 Day 377: New to Me”
March 15 Day 372: Ides of March
No soothsayers warned me to beware. I think I needed them yesterday. Seriously, things are looking up. First, thank you all for your warm birthday wishes and serious concern. At least I will have a good story to tell in the future—and that is worth something. The car is at the repair shop; we areContinue reading “March 15 Day 372: Ides of March”
March 14 Day 371: We Are OK
Umm, this birthday isn’t going to plan. My son Zachary and I went to record a Math Around Town piece in the Salishan neighborhood and the trip home was exciting—but not in a good way. As we entered I-705 from the 7 extension near the Tacoma Dome, a vehicle from the I-5 N ramp blewContinue reading “March 14 Day 371: We Are OK”
