etc.

one more pic, but not mine -- from yahoo news



have you ever seen times square so deserted? i mean even last year in the big december blizzard then, i was up in NY to see 42nd street with like a dozen friends and things looked busier then!

got a call from the mother, besides giving me an update and asking lots about snow, we agreed that we'll transfer the balance from my now highest rate credit card to one that she just paid off and then i'll pay her each month... knocking down from 16% interest to 1.5% interest should make a big difference

phone call on the house phone while i was on the cell with mom -- church is cancelled tomorrow... and our deacons are calling every member individually to tell them so... can't say we're not organized :-P

i call paul (who has been riding with me to church for the better part of a year now and wants to join good shepherd),... he goes on a rant about how NJ people are wimps (even though we're supposed to have a foot of snow by morning and then crazy windchill and fierce winds making whiteout conditions tomorrow all day) to cancel such things... wants me to go with him to closer churches if they're open tomorrow, and i said ok... we'll see if he actually finds any that are open!... he thought my objection originally was to driving in snow, boasting that he, a native of chesterton indiana, can drive in ANY winter weather... pretty sure by now i consider myself pretty competant in winter driving too... i'm just not stupid about it :-P lol...

anywho, that's the current rundown...

i've been reading lots of math today... almost 50 pages of learning the basices of affine varieties (algebraic geometry stuff) so i can read 50 more pages that tell me what a grobner base is and how to compute one.

oh joy, oh joy

later dudes
