Re: A Thread for Random Musings

 

Well, I guess my father tried to kill himself last week.

We're not on speaking terms and I would never have known if my sister hadn't suffered her second miscarriage and our other sister called my brother to let him know.

 

I know that I avoid that side of my family purposefully, but I can't help but feel guilty for not feeling anything. I mean I feel more sorry for my uncle Mark who found him and seems to be the only one my father will call when things get bad for him. Mark lives on the other side of the country.

 

I am not a good son.

How can someone be a "born-again Christian" when it is impossible to be "born Christian". Being brought up in the faith of Christianity is not the same as being "born Christian", hence the phrase "born-again Christian" leaves me shaking my head in disbelief.

 

What is next: "reborn-again..." *sigh*

I do everything I can to help gamers: part of the introductory lab I give in 101 involves an empirical study of different probability distributions. 50 rolls each of 2d6 and 1d12 ignoring 1's. There seem to be a lot of folks who don't quite grasp that there's more to a distribution than the average value it generates.

This morning a co-worker mentioned she'd clipped an article about D&D for me, but left it on her kitchen table accidentally. I waved my hand dismissively and said, "Bah! D&D is for noobs!" She (and the other woman standing nearby, who's never heard me talk Geek before), blinked in surprise. I laughed and thanked her for the thought, but assured her I already knew, and wasn't terribly interested in D&D. "I do . . . a game that involves more math," I said, before breezing along to put my lunch in the fridge.
