dayton is not in ohio

Here’s a shot of the putt-putt hole at the University of Chicago. The holes are being exhibited as part of Earth Week because most of them are made out of recycled and reclaimed materials. They didn’t inquire about my hole directly, so I didn’t volunteer that mine is made from 95% store-bought materials.

The holes are out on the area between what in my mind are the most iconic buildings at UC. They’re old, stone, ivy covered buildings. I went into the mathematics building just across from the golf hole and it smelled just like the Chinese Presbyterian Church in New Orleans where my grandfather was pastor. I think UC is supposed to have a pretty awesome math program. I’m hoping that the math genius in the building is so powerful that just being present there will result in my having a greater ability to do arithmetic in my head. Like radiation poisoning, but good.
