33 and a Third

Just got an e-mail from my niece, Lisa, who’s studying history in Ottawa. Here’s short excerpt:

“My whole project for the museum is going quite well, my only problem has been not knowing where to look for books that deal with space and robotics as I’m much more used to finding books that deal with medieval church history or the foreign policies of Cuba, but I’m slowly getting used to it.”

Whew. That sounds so impressive to me. Now space and robotics I could cope with. Gee, maybe she won’t need all that math my brother used to go on about. (I would have gone on about math, too. My brother and I are wired the same way: maths/sciences. Ok, so maybe he’s smarter: just don’t tell him I said so.)
