As an atypical family, we have white boards with markers all over the house. Of course we also have a half-bath with magnetic poetry on the walls, MolyMod chemicals constructs scattered around, six skulls showing the evolution of Man, and a sixteen year taking Intermediate E/M. White boards are absolutley essential to life and a great time! I understand completely. As an atypical family, we have white boards with markers all over the house.

Sports of any kind confound me (the rules just seem random). However, cricket is the only sport where I have a zero + delta comprehension of the rules. Hopefully, this conversion table will help me understand a teeny epsilon amount about baseball. (When a student once asked me a calc. question about players running from one base to another at different rates in a baseball diamond, I actually asked him what a baseball diamond looked like. That's the magnitude of my profound ignorance.) Jane (#7)
