w + ln |N| = ln |ap²H + e^aR| + ln |y|

w = ln |ap²H + e^aR| + ln |y| – ln |N|

w = ln |ap²H + e^aR| + ln |

w = ln |(ap²H + e^aR)

e^w = (ap²H + e^aR)

(ap²H + e^aR)y = e^wN

ap²Hy + e^aRy = e^wN

ap²Hy = e^wN – e^aRy

Hap²y = Ne^w – ye^aR

Happy = Ne^w – ye^aR

Every year, J and I ring in the new year with a bottle of my favorite
cheap champagne and our wedding flutes.

Another geeky fact: 2013 is the first year since 1987 that a number isn’t repeated in the year. 🙂 Did anyone else notice that?

I hope you have a wonderful new year full of love, hope, joy, and laughter!
