And what’s mere anarchy, compared to my life at the moment?** I’ve got three classes, two kids in soccer four nights a week, one brain (that last stat is a rough estimate, generously rounded upward), all pitted against a stack of grading that approaches infinity asymptotically. Throw in multiple friends and students in crisis, a father who just mistook his wife for his mother, an ongoing case of the piglet flu, and voilá! my life:
All I can think is how comfy that chair looks!
Anyway, though a great deal is going wrong around me, I myself am okay. So are my kids and husband, except for the sniffles. I realize I’ve been away from the Kitty for long enough that people might start to fret. Any rumors of my demise should be reported to Snopes.com.

Thanks very much for “asymptotically”. I hope the 2 curves appear less similar the closer you get to actually doing it. is an infinite curve in fact a straight line?
Good luck, and I’m glad you and yours are OK.
