@ 2ThePoint: that much I know is true – she was always smiling

Wherever she is, Brett, you can bet she’s having fun!

@2ThePoint: I am glad that you enjoyed the story about the engineering lady. I still do wonder whatever happened to her, did she go back to school yet again for another degree…

Thanks for stopping in to say hello.

I don’t know why, but that story you just told about the old lady brought tears to my eyes.

Thanks for sharing it.

Monika: I’m glad that you liked that story, I’ve actually thought a lot about her in recent days and it encourages me to never stop learning!

Where do I find the time? (Harry’s clone tank!) Seriously, I think out of necessity with our large family, I just have to make every minute count. I find I get more done now than I did when we had no children.

But you know, we all seem to be good at that in our own way. I’m still thinking about how you wrote 25000 words in a week. You are *amazing*!

PS – thanks for the link back too!

That is a very powerful and inspiring story about the older lady who got her degree. I also like your idea about writing these posts. I’m impressed on where you take your time from to everything you do.

@ Allison: well, it seems to be an area where people are still dreaming. The company where I work used to do cutting edge nuclear physics (I say, “used to do” because research doesn’t pay well enough anymore). It’s a shame… I read about it and it makes me think how cool it must have been to work there in the 60’s, when people did exciting stuff. Today it’s mostly a “paper mill”…

IMHO, physics, and especially QM and special relativity, is the *rockinist* subject ever! I'm taking a class in it now, and I just love it! If I ever went back to school, it would definitely be for theoretical physics. Now, of course, I can't wait to get out of school, but maybe someday, if I have all sorts of time and money and can find a physics program I like! Allison's last blog post..New York Roll

Never underestimate the power of suede loafers. I mean, just imagine Bruce Lee wearing suede loafers. Or Chuck Norris. I sure wouldn’t laugh at that…

Yes, I can’t resist any longer… I have to write some geek stuff, hey, it’s in my blood and I know I can write it in a way that people will enjoy and find useful.

Wow, your story is quite interesting. Talk about being selfless.

So, if I don’t write all this stuff, you’ll drive up here, sucker punch me and then have a beer with me? Alrighty then, I’ll just be a lazy bastard and not do anything oh I’d better keep my word for all these other folks. We can still have the beer, though…
