At odd times in my life...I too often felt the aching need to calculate....
It is a lifelong deep-seated greatly unmet need.........I first felt it as a young boy of 8 or ten years as I grew up in rural New England.
In 1958, with my brother I saw the first Russian sattelite Sputnik race over my head on a clear June night.....I felt a deep need to calculate in my bones.
When I saw Neil Armstrong first walk on the moon in August of 1969.....
Like you, Wadeed......I yearned to calculate......to compute........to challenge and be better then my peers.
I went to the state Universtity on a scholarship with my need to calculate...
Then, I got married..... and I had this need beaten out of me by a selfish Irish-Italian shrew
