Who am I kidding? i would've tempted fate and brought it up had I the chance to.

Truth is (grumble, grumble) that I'm still settling into a new curriculum in a new semester in a new classroom ... with ancient tecnhology. The PC is probably older than my high school students. It's slow and the monitor is distorted. I can barely do my work let alone squeeze in a little extra. And then there's all the translating I have to do because there isn't anyone else there to do it. Did I mention "grumble, grumble"?

Okay, so "kissing numbers" was, in fact, the subject of the February 14 math calendar entry, and the writeup fell to me. (Okay, so I volunteered it.) Rather than a cartoon, I just did a straight explanation, so I didn't publish it as Monday's cartoon.

So six cirlces can kiss one circle at one time, and 12 spheres can kiss a sphere at one time.

Happy Valentines Day!
Or Happy St. Valentines Day, if you prefer.

I didn't know whether to make a Huey Lewis, Celine Dion, or Air Supply reference, so I just mentioned all three of them. That's the News, I'm sticking with it.

Edit:

I may be less than 3 of U, but how do U and I measure up?

The One I need? Oh, yes! Indeed!

I was going to call her Olivia Newton-One, but she's clearly Roman, not Australian!

That's the right formula, right? Or h could be happiness.

It was already broken. He just didn't make it whole.

Yeah, this should've gone up a few days ago. Still works though.

And Happy Presidents Day.
