R.A.Small's Journal: Conic sections, Jeffie, pornography, ontology and cosmology

My first encounter(if it could be called that, I am not willing to recount the details in such a public forum as this) with Jeffie occured while I was staying at the Witchta Inn(North) while attending last year's Midwest Geometry Conference. At the time, I was struck by both her beauty and kindness. It was only much later that I discovered that she was not just anyone, but was actually something of a celebrity.

(Of the many details of that trip that still haunt me, is the trouble I had finding the hotel, as the map was neither above nor below.)

I spent the better part of my time today trying to track her down, hopeful that I might be able rekindle a fire that had never really started. The only trace I could find was here, along side some rather odd personal statements about pornography and conic sections.

And then, after the initial shock of this odd juxtapositioning of elements had worn off, the lights came on(*inside joke* please see this for further reference)--this was the vita of none other than the Kelly Ross, author of the seminal paper The Ontology and Cosmology of Non-Euclidean Geometry. Yes, he does have the awful trait of using the htm file extension(among other nasty habits)--but, politics aside, if you have not yet read this then you are still in the dark.

At the end of the day still I am still left to wonder--Jeffie, where are you?
