1. A Piper Saratoga drops like a hot rock if you dump the gear and the flaps, pull power back, etc.
2. I'm getting better at dancing C4. (I know I keep saying this. I really am still learning! There's a lot of it to learn.)
3. There's a cat in Sacramento named Mr. Beasley who is one of the most affectionate, sweet cats alive.
4. Wrote a good six thousand words this weekend. Phew, I needed that. I'm somewhere between 22K and 25K now.
5. If you tell people you are writing a novel, they will want nothing more than to chat with you about why you're doing it and what the book is about and are you published yet. They won't wanna just let you WRITE. If you tell people (square dancers) that you're writing square dance choreo, though, they nod and move on.
6. Feeding three kitties tuna packed in oil is a very smelly operation.
7. But the smell is worse the next morning when one of 'em decides to lose last night's dinner.
8. You folks write a LOT. I got up to skip=375 this morning. Yi.

You can talk to me anytime about philosophy, as long as I can talk to you about programming and you won't think me a complete moron.

Maybe you could make a post saying what "philosophy of math" is, and how it differs from purely mathematical (non-philosophical) ruminations.

Nothing is happening on my diss. Absolutely nothing. I'm going to make December nanodissmo and crank out the Dedekind chapter -- think I can do it? Five pages a week?

Urrr, five fully-edited cleaned-up pages or five draft pages?

Five draft pages, of course! I've got to do all the accompanying reading, you know. Dedekind. Tough stuff.

I'll work on the phil of math post for you, darling.

Absolutely, I think you can do five draft pages a week. Six, even. How long do you want the Dedekind chapter?

Ooo, I get a post just for me! ;-) Thanks - I'm looking forward to reading it.
