busy beaver

Greta gets numbers. I think she'll end up being like her mother that way. She's like me, too, in that she gets the poetry of numbers, even if she doesn't quite understand them natively yet.

She debuted a song that she wrote the other day, called "Busy Beaver." Yep — a reference to the busy beaver, a "Turing machine," really a theoretical way of producing mind-bogglingly high numbers. Greta just can't get over the mind-bogglingness of busy beaver numbers, and regularly tries to compare them to real-life sizes and distances.

So, a new song that brings together her love of God, her love of music (listen to that nice pop melody! when she sings it, she does a very pop-music dropped "r," so that it's "Busy Bea-vehhh"), and her love of numbers, all in one place.
