Its funny how the not too distant future is connected to the past.
I mentioned to Lo, she is a terrible Goddess how the world was going to end this coming December, on the 21st to be exact according to the Mayan calendar, and her first reaction was “Thank heavens for that. We won’t have to worry about Christmas presents then.”
My response was “I was thinking we could have a slap up meal to celebrate.”
She lowered her eyelids a tad, not a good sign, fixed me in her sights and said “And who’s going to cook it?”
There followed a rather long and protracted description and full explanation of the meals placed before me over the past 50 years or so.
When eventually we reached the point of discussion it was decided that a couple of good quality shop bought sausage rolls that would just need heating up, some fresh bread, butter and a fine selection of cheeses would fit the bill nicely to celebrate the end of the world.
I agreed to make the cocoa.

It is s sign of your extreme Mayan sagacity that ginger-nuts are not on the menu. The Mayan Priests did not approve of them!
The end of the world sorts out the wheat from the gingernuts.
Sounds… easy. I’m with the TG- I hope the Mayans are spot on.
Making cocoa is quite tricky!
I have some bad news for you. Someone’s dispelled that end of the world business, apparently it’s not true.
Oh … back to plan number 57 then ….
well, i’m counting on it. been eating like it’s the end of the world since early November. if the world doesn’t end? i’m going to have to go buy some new clothes. and we can’t have that…
Do feet put on weight? I’m thinking shoes now.
The Mayan calendar did not count for leap years. So the world should’ve ended in June or July.
Oh … did it?
I hope not. Otherwise I’ve been doing Calculus for nothing….
Ok – what’s the formula needed to calculate the maximum number of pieces from any given number of straight cuts of a piece of paper? (DP’s Introduction To Quadratic Equations Course – Part 37a)
This is vital information if you ever become a manufacturer of confetti.
Ask a shredder. If it doesn’t respond, don’t feel bad. It doesn’t talk to me either.
The simple solutions are always the best. 10/10 for the solution and 10/10 for avoiding the question.
Hmmm, maybe we’re not here but we don’t know it.
I’m certainly missing something I’m sure.
