SML and I sat on our couch last night with sushi take-out to watch the election results.  I wanted to go downtown and romp with the other crazy people in the reflection pool, but SML insisted that he had homework.

As the results started coming in I commented to SML that I didn't really understand how the media was able to project the winner so quickly, without really counting all of the votes.  SML turned the page of his notebook and started scribbling this equation while explaining the projection method in what sounded like Japanese.  When he was finished he looked at me and said, "Isn't that interesting?"  I nodded in agreement and returned to the kitchen to pour myself a second glass of wine.
