Just find the limit as x approaches zero! It’s pretty much amazing.

Don Quixote
2 years ago
I started reading Don Quixote a couple of weeks ago. I’m not too deep into it but it’s extreamly good and quite amusing! This is the second or third classic I’ve read depending on what you consider a classic. I am really enjoying reading this book and can’t wait to get my hands on some more!
The come back.

I haven’t played in maybe three years. I can’t even remember why I stopped, but today I put new strings on my guitar fired up my old amp and just got a feel for it. I was surprised how quickly my fingers seemed to find all the old chords and how things came rushing back. I did a few scales (very slowly) and even learned to play the Intro to “I walk the Line” by Johnny Cash. I still have a lot to do if I want to learn. But I think I’m well on my way!
