Prioritized Daily Task

7:30 am - Temple Appointment (Proxy Endowment) 

10:00 am -Temple Appointment (Proxy Sealing) 

I got up at 5 am, had prayer, showered, shaved, got dressed for the temple, and had prayer with Debbie.  I made us some toast with crunchy peanut butter and drove to the Saratoga Springs Temple at 7 am.  Debbie and I went on an endowment proxy session and a proxy sealing session.  When we got home Debbie went to get her hair fixed for her trip next week.  I went outside and cut my toenails and fingernails.  I received a Wells Fargo business credit card for Cason Road Health.  Wells Fargo changed from Visa to MasterCard.  I kept the card but did not activate it with a credit limit of $15M.  I ordered Tesla floor mats today which will arrive Wednesday.  Stephanie called and told Debbie that Abbie's Ridgeline High School basketball team is playing at 3 pm today in the WNBA, Women's National Basketball Association Invitational Tournament in New York City.  I called Comcast X-Finity our TV Wi-Fi carrier and tried to get the game but it is not being carried on TV.  Stephanie was invited to watch it on a private app on her cell phone.  She shared it with Debbie.  They were playing a team from N.Y.  Ridgeline lost.  I called and talked to my cousin, Roy Bryant, in Anniston, Alabama.  He had 4 stints put in last year and was back in the emergency room at the hospital last week.  NOTE: I watched the movie, "The Man Who Knew Infinity" which was about the Math Prodogy, Srinivasa Ramanujan Aiyangar, Tamil: born 22 December 1887, died 26 April 1920.  He was an Indian mathematician who had almost no formal training in pure mathematics, he made substantial contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions, including solutions to mathematical problems then considered unsolvable. Ramanujan initially developed his own mathematical research in isolation. According to Hans Eysenck, "he tried to interest the leading professional mathematicians in his work but failed for the most part. What he had to show them was too novel, too unfamiliar, and additionally presented in unusual ways; they could not be bothered". Seeking mathematicians who could better understand his work, in 1913 he began a postal correspondence with the English mathematician G. H. Hardy at the University of Cambridge, England. Recognizing Ramanujan's work as extraordinary, Hardy arranged for him to travel to Cambridge. In his notes, Hardy commented that Ramanujan had produced groundbreaking new theorems, including some that "defeated me completely; I had never seen anything in the least like them before", and some recently proven but highly advanced results.  He died on 26 April 1920 at the age of 32.  During his short life, Ramanujan independently compiled nearly 3,900 results (mostly identities and equations).  Many were completely novel; his original and highly unconventional results, such as the Ramanujan prime, the Ramanujan theta function, partition formulae, and mock theta functions, have opened entire new areas of work and inspired further research. Of his thousands of results, most have been proven correct.  He became one of the youngest Fellows of the Royal Society and only the second Indian member, and the first Indian to be elected a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. 

  Elain called and is planning to go with us, Matthew, Melodie, Madeline, Bella, Ava, Vickie, and me and Debbie on the Royal Caribbean Cruise in June and July this year.  I had prayer with Debbie before going to bed.
