Miraculously, I am still able to do some very, very basic Latin translation, just as I can decode Roman numerals. Open… Continue reading Week in Review 2022 – 10/14

It seems each new generation is destined to discover what was novel to the previous generation and perhaps add their own flair. If you ever played with Tangrams as a child, then you… Continue reading Week in Review 2022 – 09/23
