I actually found the video capture file on our hard drive from the time we took Ellie there when she was four days old. Somehow I managed to turn on the camera for this song -- some sort of divine luck, because I certainly didn't record everything and cherry pick this:
Though I started going in the summer of 2001 -- my personal annus horribilis -- this may be why such days in the park are hormonally imprinted into all of us...
The song is I Can't Wait and is one of David's originals.

In addition to being a fairly straightforward metapor for how I think and write and learn, Drift and Diffusion are mathematical terms. "Drift" is (usually) a deterministic effect like Newton's laws and "Diffusion" is a random effect like molecular bombardment.
The most picturesque description I know is the route of a dandelion seed in a stream. The current is drift, and all the while water molecules are causing tiny oscillations that keep the motion from being predictable and smooth. Such mathematical models played a role in my (fading) thesis work, and in quantitative finance.
