I did reach the age of 40 yesterday. I had written before about how people seem to peak at about 25 years of age, and from then on, genius, or better said achievement, heads rapidly south. I saw this story last week..
MADRID, Spain - A reclusive Russian won the math world's highest honor Tuesday for solving a problem that has stumped some of the discipline's greatest minds for a century - but he refused the award.And then the guy turned around and refused all awards and media attention. It reminds me of Bobby Fisher.
Grigory Perelman, a 40-year-old native of St. Petersburg, won a Fields Medal - often described as math's equivalent of the Nobel prize - for a breakthrough in the study of shapes that experts say might help scientists figure out the shape of the universe.
Oh.. and that bozo didn't kill Jon Benet after all.. Seems I was right from the beginning. Duh..

Ahhhhhhh...
Welcome back my friend, and happy 40th. I hope things are going well I know you're going through some rough times.
It's nice to see you back at it, and you'll find it comforting getting back to the routine of things.
Yeah I saw that Jon Benet thing flash on the TV whilst flipping channels, and really was not all that suprised.
Anyway, keep at it, nice to have ya back. Even if it is just 'sort of'.
Steve.
Happy belated!
