Two hundred fifty G-A-R-D-N-E-R boards

Denying this project the opportunity to expand to fill the time available to complete it, I just finished off the last of 250 misere G-A-R-D-N-E-R boards for distribution at the Gathering for Gardner 7.

[ read about G4G6 ]

I also finished some math paper refereeing today.

But what to do about another request to review math papers? I think I should make it more clear that I'm not qualified to this kind of work...

Now I can go on to two other papers I need to write.

Classmate of the week

Overheard at Peet's coffee

COFFEE SLACKER GIRL: You're off work when?

COFFEE CUSTOMER GUY: Not until seven.

CSG: So, I can come by to pick up some of the stuff, what do you call it, Wasabi, then, at six?

CCG: I get off at seven. Not wasabi, I think you want the albacore. That's what you had last time.

CSG: Whatever. What I had last time.

CCG: OK see you then.

CSG: I won't be able to get there until 6:30.

CCG: I get off at seven.

CSG: Right, the albacore. With that sauce, just yummy!

CCG: Yes, I know how to prepare it.
