“The essence of mathematics lies in its freedom.

Not much math this time, but there is a math joke at the bottom.

Today is our little dog’s birthday. Our “little” dog is an eighty-pound Golden Retriever named Maia . (Our hundred-ten pounder is a Golden Retriever named Galileo.)

I went down to the local slaughterhouse (yes, we have one in our little rural village, and it’s right along the railroad tracks) and got a bag of bones for Maia. I came home with them and she was ecstatic. She even shared one with Galileo.

I couldn’t resist putting a video of her up today. I hope you like it.

Happy Birthday, Maia!

I found this joke at http://www.danielsen.com/jokes/Mathematicians.txt

• A graduate with a Science degree asks, “Why does it work?”
• A graduate with an Engineering degree asks, “How does it work?”
• A graduate with an Accounting degree asks, “How much will it cost?”
• A graduate with a Liberal Arts degree asks, “Do you want fries with that?”
