Well, good evening John and to the net this is Ka90HV. Wow, I'm sad to hear about Charlie, although probably not surprised. He'll be missed. I will miss his... This is KC2STO. Kilo, Charlie 2, Sierra, Tango, Oscar, Charlie in New Jersey and that slow deliberate voice of his. He will be missed. So first of all, I didn't get my QRZ page updated so I'm just going to give the answer to last night's riddle. So the question is, or so the riddle is, I have a friend who is much younger than I am and I wanted to know how old she was and she got coy about it. She said, well, I'm one more than a square and one less than a cube. And I'm sitting here thinking, how old does that mean you are? The answer is that she's 26. 25 is 5 squared and 23 is 3 cubed. And as far as I know, the only set of integers, 25, 26, 27, that works that way. Interestingly, I think that 25 is one of the early Pythagorean triples, 3, 4, and 5. 3 squared plus 4 squared equals 5 squared. So that's the other unique thing about 25. I worked at the gallery today. I played harp like a mad thing for about four and a half hours. For everybody's Christmas music pleasure. And then I went to the gallery meeting which just about made me so angry I wanted to jump off a cliff. And now here I am talking to all of you, which is much better. And so I guess that's basically all I have to say. 73, 33, 88. Thanks, Joan, for doing the net and for doing a beautiful job with the silent key ceremony. And thanks to all of you for listening. I love you all. This is KA9EHV back to net.
