Memories...

My mother has a strange memory.

Today she sent me a article from the NY Times about an obscure mathematician named John Dee that I took a class on in college (the history of math, but really it was the history of alchemy.) She remembers the paper I wrote on it.

But, she doesn't remember that I had chicken pox as a child or that I now get the NY Times, only recently reported here in this blog.

Thanks mom. :)
