The Unforgiving Math That Stops Epidemics
Tara C. Smith, a professor of epidemiology and infectious-disease researcher, discusses new findings and concepts from the world of microbiology.
October 26, 2017
As the annual flu season approaches, medical professionals are again encouraging people to get flu shots. Perhaps you are among those who rationalize skipping the shot on the grounds that “I never get the flu” or “if I get sick, I get sick” or “I’m healthy, so I’ll get over it.” What you might not realize is that these vaccination campaigns for flu and other diseases are about much more than your health. They’re about achieving a collective resistance to disease that goes beyond individual well-being — and that is governed by mathematical principles unforgiving of unwise individual choices.

Christmas Bling
My Mom spent some serious time putting together Christmas Stockings and Tree Skirts for each of her kids:
Click on the pic for a full-sized view.My stocking…I believe Grandma DeLay (my Dads Mom) made it.
The 2nd from the left is the stocking my mother made for me
The 3rd is a stocking she made for Marti
The 4th is a stocking Grandma DeLay made for Marti
The semi-circle over the hearth is a tree skirt my Mom made. It’s in the shape of a circle, if you lay it out, but it’s folded in half for the picture. She put some very serious time into that needle-point project.
The Takes girls (my sister-in-law and her two daughters) made the tree skirt at the bottom.

Keppy Christmases Past
- A few resourceful Keppy family members dug up some old 8mm film reels with footage of Keppy Christmases past. (Yes…it’s spelled Christmases)
- Shortened versions of those videos are in this article. Hopefully, they help remind us of family members that are not with us anymore. I really enjoyed watching these. I hope you enjoy them as well.

This weekend, we went to see “We Gotta Bingo” – Chicago’s hilarious Interactive Dinner Theater Experience. I’d like to include some pics from their website here, but copyright laws say that’s not really a good idea. That said, check out their website: www.wegottabingo.com

How close is family?
With the holidays coming up, many of us are meeting relatives from our extended family. When they explain how they’re related, some of the terms are confusing. This chart gives you an easy guide.
It’s hard enough to know what a great grand uncle is, let a lone what a 2nd cousin might be. If you throw in a 3rd aunt, twice removed, I have no idea what that is.But, the picture (chart) below puts it simply.

We certainly love to sleep – to some of us, sleep is a luxury, to others, it may even be a hobby or a favorite pastime.
