| Thanks. It's good to see both of you guys are still at it, too. I
| should tell everyone that I am cutting back on active participation in
| plys-l because I am taking an undergraduate GR course this semester,
| filling an important lacuna in my early training. It is great to be a
| student again. It gives me a wonderful new perspective. It made me
| wonder how any student could keep up with five or six courses like
| this, until I realized that, in truth, no student could possibly do so!
| I guess I didn't when I was a student, either.
|
| Physics education is a wonderful thing. To paraphrase Galileo: "And yet
| it works."

Now you're making me jealous, the opportunity to take a single course while
other academic demands are minimized is a rare opportunity. How is the
course coming along?
