  Acknowledgments
  There	are	so	many	geeks	to	thank,	and	numerous	shoulders	I	leaned	on
  throughout	the	process	of	writing	this	book.	First	and	foremost,	my	patient	and
  marvelous	husband	Andrew	Cheeseman,	who	put	up	with	months	of	neglect	and
  take-out	food	while	I	threw	myself	headlong	into	this	project.	His	well-trained
  grammar-geek	eyes	and	physicist/math	brain	helped	hone	these	pages.	To	Hexie
  Cheeseman	and	Suzy	Wright,	for	being	two	more	sets	of	eyes	proofing	my	work,
  thanks	so	much	for	your	invaluable	help.	To	the	ladies	of	my	“writers’	group,”
  all	unwavering	cheerleaders,	your	encouragement	and	knowledge	of	the	writing
  world	made	this	much	easier.	To	Jonathan	Blank,	who	knows	a	thing	or	two
  about	book	publishing	and	willingly	spent	time	sharing	it	with	me,	I	cannot
  thank
