some of your comments in your blog remind me of a much, much, much, much, much younger me.
I loved math (I was a math major in college)
I am a recovering perfectionist, with a slight case of OCDness thrown into complicate things.
And I even spelled Alaska correct in a spelling test as a youth, so we have Alaska in common. (However Alaska was not a state at the time)
Nice blog. Keep it up.
