• Math and Jesus

  I brought Rone to skate today. It's surreal fun to sit in the middle of Texas in July and be cold, so I make sure to wear a t-shirt and capris and flipflops.

  On the way, it was just me and him in the car. He asked, "Is there any number that is the last number?" My brain got all excited, we get to talk about infinity, and impossible things, and the great sort of wondering that can happen about that.

  By the time we pulled into the ice rink parking lot, I'm saying," So, there's this thing people did? A long time ago? If they thought they were bad people? They would nail them to a cross made of wood."

  It all seemed very logical at the time. 

  In my defense, I was driving. I was not prepared for a discussion of infinity, math, how we decided what year it is right now, or religion, or what a monk is.  I really need to be better prepared.
