By the way are you still seeing the IC? Are you doing any work for YOU? What are your personal goals?
Also you are an astronomy prof right? DO you know anyone in Ohio - specifically Tom Burns at Ohio Wesleyan? Also what do you think of Neil DeGrasse Tyson? Oddly enough I found out about him years ago through a Wine Spectator article. I'm looking to pick up the Origins DVD and book. Any other recommendations??
