CIRCLE WITH A DOT

Nothing wrong with that. You have a brain for arts and we need those, rather desperately..

What of art(s) do you do?

@eden

But I liked math AND the arts. I was a (formerly) high achieving math student in band.

Still like them both, but I'm currently only in band.

(Still use cross multiplication a lot to figure things out, though)

Separate, apart but related: non-English language. I took 4 semesters of French in college and I remember effectively none of it (although, I could probably navigate a Francophone area with some difficulty), 2 years of Latin (very interesting, low in utility) in high school and a tiny bit of Spanish in middle school.

Recently, I did try my hand at learning German (parts of my family had dreams of going there) and it's easily my favorite of the languages I have attempted to learn and I want to learn more. There's a lot about it that just makes sense with regards to syntax and parts of speech.

There's a German Language group that's local-ish (former Texan scale of "local") but a ~200 mile round trip on a Tuesday night in a winter weather state is not ideal. It also helped that I grew up in a town with a not inconsequential amount of German speakers so the sounds are lifetime familiar to my ears even if I don't understand them.

One of my greatest learning laments were my failed attempts at Calculus in high school and post college. By the time I got to Calculus in high school I was so burnt out, and had a terrible math teacher the year prior that one of my favorite academic interests had suffered a grievous wound.

I attempted a college Calculus course after I attained my Bachelor's degree. Leading up that attempt I took trigonometry course by correspondence and a pre-calculus course both of which I excelled at.

Got into the Calculus course then life started lifing and I was unable to complete it.

All this to say, I still want to know Calculus, even if I never use it outside of learning it.

Tucking this away to annoy my friends with unsolicited dad jokes. Also my children, but Dad Jokes are a condition of living with me.

Regaled some friends last night and they needed more desks for their heads.

Take a hug, give a hug.

It's been *a lot* lately.

That's a great sample portfolio in your introduction. Those are good pictures.

@ety

Some lies are ok.

This is one of those.

@ety

Nice. Probably not going back since you discovered this place, eh?

@eden

Maybe you're also *directly* solar powered!?!
