Hey, William … Let’s do some math,
How much is 0 + 1? You say 1 — that is RIGHT!
How about, 1 + 0? You say 1 — that is RIGHT AGAIN!!
How about, 0 + 0? You say 0 — YOU are a genius!!!
Now for the trick question: how much is 1 + 1? If you say 10, YOU are a SUPER GENIUS!!! (In the Binary Number System, adding two “1” digits produces a digit “0”, and “1” is added to the next column in front, resulting in: “10”.)
For the mere mortals around you, tell them that you understand the BINARY mathematical system.

Marek and Rysio stayed with my Parents.

Let’s talk about some recent history — September 11, 2001. It started out a beautiful day in New York City. Wojcio Rysio had just completed hiking the Appalachian Trail, and was planning to go back to Washington, DC. Rysio was going to rent a truck to move his stuff to Washington; along the way to the U-Haul rental center, we stopped at a bank in Westfield to get a certified check that he needed.
