  1. This is hilarious! Of course a math whiz loves statistics. I haven’t had a chance to look at your site here for a while. I think with your prep list I see why you were out of commission for quite a while. All those books and movies kept you pretty busy. Today is probably like a terrible cold rainy day in England. It’s chilling to the bone but still the temperature is rising steadily into the 30’s; until later tonight when it all goes to pot and plummets into the 20’s and everything turns to ice. Very nice getting to work in the morning. Not. Hugs to you.
