Happy 60th, Mom and Dad!

Posted by Russell on February 10, 2012 at 2:24 p.m.
As is often the case, odd people had odd children. Readers of this blog have no doubt long noted a certain... peculiarity of the author, and hypothesized about the individuals who raised me. I can proudly confirm that they are every bit as odd as I am. Anyway, they both turned sixty in the last couple of weeks (my mom in December, and my dad a few days ago), and I wanted to post a little celebration of our great family tradition of crossgrainedness.

For my mom's birthday, she and my sister came over and slept on the floor of my apartment in Davis, despite the availability of perfectly comfortable and reasonably priced lodgings downtown. For her birthday, we found a fetid puddle of water near Lake Berryessa with some tadpoles in it. She was delighted.

For my dad's birthday, he's celebrating his election to the National Academy of Engineering (the sister organization to the Institute of Medicine. He also got this birthday card from his longtime college friend Bruce Reznick :


Bruce is a professor of mathematics at the University of Illinois. He studies the identities of high-order polynomials. So, this really is the a birthday card only he would think to send.
