Well, after seven months of planning over Sunday brunches, we'll be starting our pre-school co-op tomorrow, with three other families in the (greater) neighborhood.
It will probably be ad-lib for several weeks, as getting four three-year-olds to more-or-less do something (desirable) together at the same time is probably a bit ambitious for now.
But we do have a School Song, Welcome to School, written by Karen and arranged by me. We're going to work out the bridge a bit more (this came to me as a voicemail from Sofia's cell phone). But here was the premiere just this morning:

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.
