Well, I just finished my twenty-eighth consecutive day of writing mathematics problems for the teacher’s resource appendix of a high-school mathematics textbook. I don’t have an assignment for tomorrow yet, so it looks like I may have my first day off of work tomorrow in four weeks.

On another note, Lance Armstrong’s LIVESTRONG Presidential Cancer Forum has been going on the last two days. I’ve tried to keep this blog non-political, but as the presidential elections approach, that may get a little more difficult. From what I’ve seen and heard from the LIVESTRONG Presidential Cancer Forum so far, the candidate who’s made the greatest impression on me is from a political party I wouldn’t normally support.

Click here to watch Mike Huckabee talk about a national indoor smoking ban, and click here to watch him talk about how nutrition and exercise relate to cancer. I think he’s dead on on both of these topics. It was really exciting for me to hear him talk about both of these topics —this is exactly what I wanted to hear. Is it enough to make me change my political stripes? I don’t think so, but I couldn’t agree more with Mike Huckabee on these topics.
