Dramatis persona*

helenhead Helen Chick

I've always wanted a bumper sticker that said "I'm a female, LDS/Mormon, Scout leading, geocaching, piano-playing, bicycling, mathematics educator with a PhD in maths ... and I VOTE"!

12 of 12, October 2011

This month’s 12 of 12 fell on “Ride to Work” day, and so there are a few photos of my cycling journey, together with a couple of shots of some of my teaching activities.

The big thing that is happening at the moment, however, is that I am in the throes of getting my real-estate portfolio organised […]
