This is a bit of an end-of-the-summer clean-out post. I’ve had people (mainly my brother Tim and my dad, Gene) sending me cool/funny math images and I’ve been meaning to share. So here goes:
You may have already seen this check. It's still funny, though.
Wasn’t sure if this had made its way around the math blogging community yet. It’s awesome!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I’m back, and excited for the new school year. I took a little summer break from blogging, just like I did from teaching :-).
Today was our first day of school at Richard Montgomery High School, where I teach. (And we actually did have school today, even though we had both a 5.8 earthquake and an ‘historic’ hurricane in the last week.) So welcome back to all my current and former students!
