I will be leaving for Atlanta, GA tomorrow to participate in the Ninth Gathering for Gardner. That's Martin Gardner, of course. I will be giving a short talk about the Monty Hall problem on Thursday morning, and then it will be three days of math, magic and other cool things. Gardner contributed a jacket endorsement to my Monty Hall book.
The evo/creo book continues to plod along. I have now crossed the 30,000 word mark. It's a bit stressful, one minute I think I have written something pretty good, the next I think it is career-ending crap. Whatever.
Hopefully I"ll get back to semi-regular blogging when I return.
