That was my big non-physics project I kept mentioning. I could only chip away at it bit by bit since I was still in the strong current of the semester after Thanksgiving, leaving me only a few days to complete everything before my visitors arrived. (My plans to have everything done before they arrived - to give me a retreat to get some work done during the visit - did not work out.) Once they arrived, my priorities were to spend time with them, of course, and it went back to part time. But it is now done. [...] [...] So there it is.

Sure, he found it interesting, as you’d expect, and he started to bang on the keys quite randomly at first…. but he began to experiment quite interestingly, listening, tinkering, trying new things, and singing along to some of his creations… his stuff sounded just great too! I’d never have guessed it would sound so interesting. [...] [...] I sat my nephew Baby Z at my digital piano, switched it on, and stepped back.

I saw you on a documentary the other day on TV on the Science channel. It was about black holes. They kept putting you on a subway car. I thought it was exciting to see you. Even though i should know better by now that you are a UKian I was still suprised to hear the UK accent, I expected an American one somehow. Anyway nice job on the program.

A physicist who lives in Griffiths observatory?!? I learned this a few years ago ... Now whenever I see pictures of Griffiths, I think of Macgyver. Makes the place even cooler than it already was without him. Ever seen the first episode of Macgyver? A physicist who lives in Griffiths observatory?!?
