    I’ve never seen the Johnny Depp version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and I’ve never seen the Jim Carrey version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. If God himself rewrote the Bible or if Tchaikovsky rescored The Nutcracker I wouldn’t touch either … Continue reading →

    On today’s episode of Math and Musings you’ll hear me talk about my recent trip to Natural Bridge, Virginia. For most people the highlight of this locale is, well, the natural bridge, a 200-foot tall stone edifice rising above a tributary of … Continue reading →

    It wasn’t long ago we called it the NFC Least. Remember 2020 when the then-Football Team won said division with a losing record? Well don’t look now but every team in that division has a winning record, including the aforementioned WFT, … Continue reading →

    It took them 37 years to come up with… vanilla. Sixteen more years to come up with… strawberry. And then, a mere five months later, Wendy’s did it. Peppermint. Frosty. Add one more to the Christmas list. … Continue reading →
