Who Knew?

It's hard to decide what earth-shaking event is more noteworthy: Jason, the Bachelor, walked away from his first true love when he realized that his second true love is really his first true love! Wow. The courage it takes to be real on a reality show, especially with the audience sitting right there and witnessing history in the making.

And, almost as important as Jason's completely inexplicable actions in an historical ending to the 8th season of The Bachelor, today is Square Root Day: you know 03 03 09.

Totally, completely surreal. Mindbloggling. Amazing. Just when I had finally stepped away from the financial crisis, along come more numbers to weigh me down, push the depression button -- oops, that's right! We aren't using that word.

Sorry.

I can only hope that life will continue for Jason, for Missy/Molly, and for the mathies who have finally been able to publicly shout out to the world that YES, the lessons on square roots do apply in real life: we just had to wait for it, wait for it, wait for it.
