A PalindromemordnilaP A

John McAdam, professor of education at Marist College and a fellow Math Guy in spirit if not in title, reminds me that today is a palindrome: when written in month/day/year format, the digits are the same read forward as read backward:

01/02/2010

Okay, okay, you have to put a couple of leading zeroes in there, but pretty darn good, wouldn't you say?

And FYI, the next one will be 11/02/2011. A loooong way off. So as Paul Simon (the singer not the senator) never put it,

enjoy it while you can, Nan
it ain't all that bad, Dad
there's no need to sob, Bob
just sit down and chill, Lil
and eat a banana, Hannah
(or some other food, Dood)
Just leave it to me... .
