The brilliant and beautiful Mrs. Badger has been teaching herself calculus for her masters degree.

Yesterday, she passed her HUGE calculus test--an entire term's worth on content on a 14 question test.

She passed! Woooo! I'm so proud of her!

ahem. thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

Way to go. Someone had to learn calculus and it sure wasn't going to be me or many other folks here. So glad she stepped up to the plate.

Congratulations indeed!

Far smarter than the average bear, methinks.

And she gains serious bragging rights. That's impressive, by anyone's standard.

We all note that she was not the one who piled the wood to the rafters of the shed.

I hate it. So much so that I didn't go for a 4 year chemistry degree (which would have meant 4 quarters of calculus and a quarter of differential equations), I got a degree in Natural Science (chemistry, biology, and horticulture) but didn't have to take calculus!!!

Tell Mrs. way to go from me!

I only had to make it through two semesters of calculus. I wouldn't mind trying it again because there is something alluring about all those curves.

I'm sorry I just have to say this.

I used to listen to the BBC world service radio a lot from the boat before they reduced their short-wave transmissions to almost impossible to receive anywhere in the world.

They also used to have a lot of good entertainment. One of the shows I remember was a game show where they had more or less well known British actors in the studio. The participants would be given a word and had to come up with a sentence containing that word.

A lady was given the word "Horticulture".

Her sentence using the word was:
"You can lead a hor-ti-culture, but you can't make her think."
