Happy Birthday Luke!

After having been to a wedding on Saturday and a 70th birthday party for my mom on Sunday, Luke turned two on Monday. Three days, three parties.

We've talked about triangles on spheres before, but I was a bit surprised when he confidently responded, "Correct!" His dad, not to be outdone, wondered about a triangle on a hyperbolic plane (shaped like a pringle), but shortly concluded that it could only be done in spaces with positive curvature. Emmett has it coming at him from all sides...
