CALL ME SNAKE

There’s nothing like leaving on a high note. My post on the “first practical use for sudoku” was featured on the “Improbable Research” website (see link on right), which puts me (it) in some pretty heady company. Speaking of heady company, I’m off for a week of fission’ and other forms of rustication in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont with my wife’s family. Sixteen people (half of which are spirited children), all sharing the same house, should make for a relaxing time. The “Kingdom,” as some of us call it, is wild country. A good place for bears but not especially convivial for cell phones and high-speed internet connections. So this might be my last post for a good stretch, say a half-fortnight or so, unless I can find myself some sort of electronic “hitching post,” a weird (or wired) coffeehouse, or whatever they call them in those parts. If we don’t talk fur awhile, y’all have yourselves one heckuva week. I’m sure I will.
