I’m fitter then I have been in a while, but since I haven’t been shooting more then once a week for a while.. My muscle memory has faded.

I’ll need to shoot at home at least once a week.

It was great weather for it though. Nothing better.

Today it’s been exactly 10 years since his death.

Here is a biography of him.

His story is a pretty remarkable one. A fascinating life story. He might not sound like the best role model for a budding mathematician, but I am inspired by him.
The most collaborative mathematician.

Two quotes:

“A Mathematicians is a machine for turning coffee into theorems.”

“My mind is open.”

The verticle axis is my rating points. The horizontal axis is just number by each particular score. Not by date.
If it was by date there would be a giant gap in the middle of about 4 years, where I hardly recorded a thing. It covers about 13 or 14 years.

It’s one of those nice warm newly spring nights.

It’s pedal time!
