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"!

I think this makes me a minority group of cardinality 1!

* Since there's only one of me and "personae" is plural (I think), I've gone with dramatis persona.

A wintry and fairly boring July work-day.

I’d been away last week at a national conference, and on my way home I noticed that my suitcase was on its last legs (well, its last seams, actually). It has now been replaced.

I am not, however, going to replace the disintegrating plastic bag that was in one of my […]

Brickbat and bouquet

Recently our postal service changed its approach to postage charges and delivery times, to the point where it now seems that Australia Post may have become a short-term, random-duration parcel and envelope storage facility.
