Sunday afternoon math time!!!

Beautiful weather outside. Can’t believe it is Feb winter could be like this. Sat in the porch by the woods and went thru some geometry construction problems. Forget the problems – the compasses are so different these days from what I grew up with!! There was that famous Camlin geometry box I still remember – compass, divider, scale, protractor and two set squares.

Speaking of mixed messages…

So, I came back home. That was her cue to leave home. She dutifully took the daughter to the dance class.

But made the classical mistake of letting me know that she had cooked “ghugni”. You can check Wikipedia for this. And you will learn that there this is not a dish that can be rejected by somebody faint of the heart.

Let’s just say somebody finished the whole bowl of ghugni, taking full advantage of nobody else being at home. To speak of nothing of not having eaten any home cooked home for a week. And that somebody suddenly realized that she was going to be home….

Attempting for a soft landing, he sent the following message (see pic).

And he received the response in the pic.

The smiley was great! Maybe I was off the hook. But then came the ominous “almost home”. That can go either way. Right now, I am having pictures going thru my mind of a school teacher with her glasses down her nose and a stick in her hand reprimanding her student……

Keeping her options open…

As I went to give her a reminder to get up to get ready for her run, I noticed that right next to her, on her bedside table was a glass of water, a champagne flute with a cocktail in it and a cup of steaming hot coffee.

It will be really interesting to see what she goes for once she wakes up.
