Happy Anniversary! I’ve been watching a video of Joseph Campbell’s “The Power of Myth” where he has concluded that life now is the way it is supposed to be. (Of course he said this in about 1987–but he meant ongoing life: today, even.) All you have to do is really participate in it. So doing a humorous math blog (or reading one), and thereby not cleaning or not grading and not tying up loose ends, is a good end in itself. It is life, mess and all. And that’s good. Happy Anniversary!

I am not only a calculus teacher and reader of this blog, but also somewhat of a Lewis Carroll nut. Anyhow, I thought you were going to say your name came from him. Apparently (according the Annotated Alice), his students called him The Bat because his lessons flew over their heads when they went home to work problems at night. That was the origin of the doormouse’s poem “Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat.”
