It just dawned on me that a year
ago was my sister-in-law’s wedding down in Austin, Texas. We flew down for a few days at a ranch they
rented for the ceremony and party and had a great time. During the plane ride down, poolside, in a
hammock on the ranch, in various rooms dodging people and guests, in my hotel
bathroom, in the passenger seat of the black Volkswagen we rented, and on the
plane ride home, I put away John Derbyshire’s excellent Prime Obsession,
a book about German mathematician Bernard Riemann and his hypothesis (which
attempts to predict the distribution of prime numbers in a given range of
numbers).
The final page raised
Everest-sized goose bumps all out on my arms, some 30,000 feet above Tennessee.
Ah, memories!
