This is crummy timing, but today I head back to Waterloo to give my thesis talk. If all goes well, I'll be back with the last of my UW work taken care of by Thursday.

Break a leg. Here's hoping yours goes as well as mine did. The trick is to pick friendly profs for your committee.

Best of Luck, Z, though I'm sure you won't need it.
Remember to speak a little slower than natural, to enunciate clearly, and to project. Oh, and look up.

"Neglect not your knees."
A true obscure reference. Hey, if CV gets to give worthwhile advice, who am I to not continue the trend?

Many thanks for the support, guys. I nailed the talk -- it's smooth sailing from here.
More when I'm at my computer again. The PSP "keyboard" is a harsh mistress.

When he left, he was but the learner. Now, *he* is the Master.

Only a master of terrible puns, Sa'arth.
Way to go, oh Zekey one.

On whose door did you nail the talk? And did Martin Luther sue you for plagarism?

I stand by my joke. Zeke himself said that he "nailed the talk." Seems like a perfectly natural setup for a punchline to me.

I was sort of hoping that if anyone WERE to decapitate me and attach my head to a coffee table, they'd forego the nails and use the handyman's secret weapon: duct tape.
