Hey, Buddy:
I don't know if this makes it better or worse, but I'm a sociologist, not a
psychologist!
Now, if you'd like, I'll explain at length the difference between sociology
and psychology, but since this list has a line limit for postings, I'd
better not try that now.
Besides, I have to spend the evening grading papers to see what if any
impact I have had on my students so far this semester.
Right now, I'm feeling pretty good; let's hope it stays that way.
