Kelly’s article on the difficulty of math won first place in the writing competition in the Albany Democrat-Herald again yesterday! You can read the article here. I will try to post an image of the article sometime this Friday. I really think it was one of her best efforts. This was the last competition of the year. She won the first competition, too. It was quite exciting for us again. I hope it does not become old hat.

We can still move along at a good clip, I just want it to be enjoyable and not onerous.
