The bonsai has already taught me something.
Time.
There is a mathematical equation built into everything. We call it time.
60 minutes.
12 months.
2 days.
mid-night.
60 seconds. milliseconds. Summer, Spring, Winter, Fall.
My Granny, the eldest of my family, is one of the strongest women I know. Her mother lived well into her 90's, though she'd lost her mind. My Granny, bless her heart stays busy. She keeps her mind busy, she still has a check paying job. She helps her peers get the help they need. Most don't know what's available. She is so sweet. She has, and continues to, teach me much.
She birthed 3 strong persons, a man and two daughters. Her son, Joseph Gordon, was named after a man who died in World War 2, his uncle.
In the 1600's his great^x grandfather was born in England, and died in North America. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1600s_in_England
Unfortunately his story telling stopped long ago. Too bad, because he had a great memory..and he could tell stories.
The name was clearly chosen to go through my older brother....
I had one daughter, second born, and will not have any others, unless we one day decide to adopt. (who know's).
My younger brother and his wife had two daughters. Shan serves in the US Army, and is stationed in Georgia right now. He spent some years in Germany, and did a year in combat. He has an honorable wife, who loves him very much.
Joseph Gordon Junior had a first born daughter, and then a set of twin boys. Jacob and Tristan. My brother and sister in law are good parents, they have taught their kids right from wrong, and respect, and hard work. Jacob and Tristan have some big shoes to fill.. hoping for boys.. to carry on that name. Otherwise, through us, our branch ends. That was short lived...
We made it a long time too!! I wonder where the Chenoweth name comes from.. ?? Granny Angel? Marian Traina?
Interesting.
Time. A unit of measure.
Algebra is mind-blowing. watch this:
Factor Completely:
30d^3e^2-22d^2e^3+4de^4
2de^2(15d^2-11de+2e^2)
2de^2(15d^2-5de-6de+2e^2)
2de^2(5d(3d-e)-2e(3d-e)
The answer is this: 2d^2(5d-2e)(3d-e)<--how fast a bonsai grows (j/k.. i don't know.. lol)
I have no idea why I need that to be an accountant.. but damn.. I'm impressed at what some have learned. Math is a language. I speak broken algebra LOL.
Time. I have 4 more years. I've just begun.. but if my Granny's are a tell.. I'm going to be around for a long time.. I've gotta keep my mind sharp!!
Time. We're going on our first family vacation!! San Diego here we come!! His vacation time sucks as a newb.. but wow, what an amazing job!! We can deal. The weather should be holding up.. we're going to go see some museums and such.. Gonna hit up the 6 flags. CAN'T WAIT!!!!! Brad Curtis was stationed there, so he knows all the Diego "to do's".
What do you think... To see Sea World or not to see Sea World? Say THAT fast..
Alright... it's getting late...
