It’s interesting: Newspaper food sections that mentioned the book when it was published say more about him than the book itself. Here’s a clip from the Los Angeles Daily News (12/1/1954). Also, his obituary in the Biloxi Sun (1/24/1983).

My eyes started rolling as soon as Begala’s name came up, and then I got to this quote and wondered why anyone would want an opinion from someone who characterizes the left like this. The “Mamdani’s win ain’t all that” take was icing on the cake.

Could use a physical pinball machine too!

Traveling this weekend — on my way home from a conference in Charlotte, NC. Flight boards in about 2.5 hours… currently.

Not hungry right now, but kind of hoping I will become so so that I can get some collards. (Some BBQ as well, but the collards are the attraction.)

From earlier today!

We gave away candy to about 225 kids…

The New Republic posted a link to the video from the trash right-wing network RSBN showing Trump in Japan wandering aimlessly about a room. But the chyron at the bottom made me wonder what’s going on in the psyches of RSBN’s editors…

Among the many, many good points here:

The publisher Springer has been driven into the ground by private equity and AI and will f*ck up your paper, Exhibit #72,684

LOL! I also have found solutions to many previously unsolved (by me) problems in this way.

Unfortunately, today I could not goooooo back to bed because I had a preaching gig. But now I am back home and will change into comfortable clothes and start doing some prep work for tonight’s dinner.

Just got a new iPad to replace one from 2019that was getting flaky, so now I’m on iPadOS 26…

And the keyboard on the BlueSky app has become the most hideous thing I have ever seen in my life.

I don’t know what might be going on, but my best wishes for you, no matter what it is.

Here’s a photo of the five street toughs who were hanging around the neighborhood where I’m staying…

Visiting family in Sacramento, staying at an AirBnB. Had breakfast with one of my oldest friends. May get a chance to work on editing a joint paper after the big family lunch gathering today.

(Here’s a statement of the bound. Note that it involves finding the solution 𝜑 to a trigonometric equation.)

Was on a retreat for the first part of the week, so I had lots of things to do in the past few days to catch up.

This is in my home office. Painted so that the walls match a lot of the books on my shelves.

Probably no time for math today :( but at least I had my coffee from this mug.

I should have invested in a bottle of The Macallan.

Sir! The “Guide to Musical Theatre” web site begs to disagree!

Not Hilbert’s 10th… but in a similar vein? Older son made this for us about 8 years ago. Repurposes a t-shirt that the math grad student association at Boston University made on the occasion of the big conference on FLT in 1995…

Enjoying a long weekend away from work! But will be looking over a joint paper later in the day to see how to address the referee’s comments.

When you’re a mathematician, you have to get used to eccentric on-screen representations of your profession.

It’s always a pleasure, when reading books of a certain vintage, to find the author uses “thriven” for the past participle of “thrive.”

My coffee was long ago… but the not-quite empty mug was still by my bedside, so here is a nearly-dinnertime MCD on the back deck.

Don’t know, but it’s always a good day to post this image. ⚞wink!⚟
