Diane and I spent the evening working with Gabe on his math homework. it’s intro Algebra stuff and it’s fun watching him pick up the concepts. I remember how cool it was as a kid when I could first think about solving math problems symbolically. ..I remember how  the whole concept of solving for unknowns was magical to me.. as were the process of using the units to check your work.. 

I am very attracted to the concept of unknowns now..   there are so many in my life.

              -mt
H = (1 – e      ) 

   where H = healing ,
   t =  time since Sam’s passing
   m = mood factor  where

m = f(S,W,D,R),

   where S = Season
   W = work
   D = date
   R – other random factors

I now have long periods where dm/dt => 0  though there is a periodic moments when dm/dt << 0 .  Even so, it’s mathematically possible to show that time heals all wounds.

OK.. it’s a strange analogy, but this week has me in such a strange mood

The freaky thing is I found nearly the same conept in a cartoon after I wrote the above.

Nite folks… nite Sam !
