stoutfellowToday was the feast day of St. Barbara, who is - among many other things - the patron saint of mathematicians. (Basically, she's the patron saint of things that go boom; I guess we got in via the early study of ballistics.)
I did my undergraduate work at UC Santa Barbara.
I wish I'd known about this earlier today - I'd have celebrated somehow - but I didn't find out until around 7 PM.
I'll have to mark my calendar for next year.
