Math and Menus

I just had a sudden urge to do math.  There is something seriously wrong with me.  I was reading Blue Like Jazz yesterday (for the millionth time) and he was talking about being stuck in space by himself and having his hair and beard grow into his face and going crazy out there all by himself, not being able to even see or get his hair out of his eyes.  That didn't really happen, he was just talking about it...It's a good book.  But anyway, the point is that people kinda grow crazy when they're all alone for extended periods of time.  His point was that community is healthy, which I absolutely agree with!  I was talking to my father about how living on a commune in Texas wouldn't be that bad, especially if the other members of the commune build guns for a living.  Communes are cool.  A little bit reminiscent of cults, which aren't so cool, but I think I could make it work.  But I digress.  Back to the math.
I'm in the process of writing a menu, like a real adult.  I have been looking up recipes and writing them down in  notebook so I can add them to my recipe binder, and the notebook I happen to be using is my old Math 111 notebook.  Well I was flipping through, looking for a blank page, and I saw all these math problems, and I suddenly felt like I would enjoy the mental stimulation of doing math.  And that's when I realized that I really am spending too much time alone.  But maybe it's good for me.  I mean, math would probably be a good thing for me to do.  Jesse tells me all the time that I need to use my noggin...
Of course, thinking about doing math is fine, but I probably won't, because it's math, and who likes math?  But today is going by very slowly...
