I'm a numbers guy at heart, and numbers guys have a tendency to look at life from a numbers point of view. It's a very different viewpoint than the one non-numbers guys use to view the world. I recently watched two movies about numbers guys: Rainman, and The Man Who Knew Infinity. Both good movies in there own right, but each with a very different take on the illness and genius of numbers and their place in the human mind. Watching them reminded me of the brief period I spent volunteering with the Montgomery County Association for Retarded Citizens. It was a great experience working with Staff and Volunteers helping fellow Citizens enjoy the fullness of life available to us all. But I had to give it up because I started having trouble deciding who was who.
