September 28, 2014  Sunday

     To my dear Readers: I am sorry that I haven't made a recent entry.  I have been in Chapel Hill, NC for the last four days.  Yoga, music, chess, family…


"Two Moons"  (from a detail of a ceramic plate)




     "How old are you?"
     "I'm two and a half but my knees are seventeen."

     I guess my recent entries, from my solo practice in Connecticut that started 28 years ago, seem to be about birthdays.  I actually compiled these anecdotes in chapter form about fourteen years ago and this chapter, titled "Birthdays and Other Math Problems" is one of my favorites.
