Have a Blessed Weekend, Dear Finest FRiends!

[El Gato]

Well, I didn't wear red, I've only got one red shirt. But what I did do was promise to help the daughter of a major with her math. (and science). He is starting his deployment on Sunday, He starts with two weeks of training at Ft. Bliss, and then on to the sandbox. He's on a weapons and tactics evaluation team.

I told him it's my contribution to the war effort. He took my card and home phone number for her to call. I helped with an Algebra problem last week. Hard for them, trivial for me. Still I had to show all the steps in a way they could understand. Like being a tutor all over again, as I was in High School, many, many moons ago.

Or like being a Dad, which I am, but it's been quite a few moons since my daughters needed that sort of help. Granddaughter and great nieces (collectively the Pajama Girls) aren't ready for that sort of help yet, and besides Grandma/Great Aunt is a teacher of math teachers, so I'm not the only, and probably not the best, helper.
