My black cat, Minx, is just like that. Her tail ends up in Teams meetings. Or she jumps on my head from the back of the recliner when I’m on camera with my boss. Makes her laugh, too.

Love that! Here is another painting/collage. They are so much fun to make.

They’re lovely. I can’t paint. I can just write and crochet. Can’t even knit. I can Tunisian crochet. Can’t knit to save my life.

Too funny. I tried to crochet and it was horrifying. I’ve never felt so undextrous. I took up knitting and ended up having surgery of trigger fingers. All I can do paint and glue stuff.

I can’t see the painting in my head. Now, if I’m working on a scene, I can see it like a translucent move scrolling by about a foot in front of my face. If I get blocked, I just go and do some calculus equations until the creative side of my brain reengages. #Math

I prefer decoding crosstab data. More math.

Wow. I’m not even sure what that is! Clue in the clueless?

Easier than calculus for sure

You think so? I betcha I could teach you something that is calculus yet dead simple. (I used to teach Math at Valencia College.) Go to YouTube and search “derivative” and “power rule.” If you know the definitions of a coefficient, a variable, and an exponent, you’ll crack it in 10 minutes flat.

I took calculus in college. I have not had much use for it. In my career we used cross tabs all the time and in my later years I taught the newcomers how to understand them. It was more or less teaching Algebra 2 in a more meaningful way. I love the logic of math.

Cross tabs are a way to display data that indicates the relationship between variables in a data set. www.displayr.com/what-is-a-cr...

That looks very interesting. I’d love to rip into that when I’ve got some time. Thanks much for letting me know about it!

Thank you so much!
