Jerry,

Mind if I stop in...take my shoes off for a moment...nothing like comfort...the pot hot?

I had a friend who was a professional astronomer who eventually gave it up so that he could enjoy the sky again. He became a power amateur astronomer and a professional computer person. When you are a researcher in astronomy there is no time to enjoy the sky. My ex-wife who has her Ph.D in music composition, a composer of beautiful music, couldn't just relax and listen to music, she was always analyzing it. Knowing something too well is great but sometimes can be a detriment.

Well, must get home and pack my clothes...off to Tucson today to see my sweet wife...play some music with her! Let me get the cup in the sink and shoes back on...see you later!

astro...now where are my keys...?
