    I'm amazed at how friendly the welcomes here are. Thanks to everyone!

    I'll have to start keeping my last fridays of the months free for a trip to Belmont. On DcB, I'm using the Hooker trans, because the revised Burgess (my fav) is $25, and the students pay so much for text books, and the Hooker is a fine translation (just not the best) but it can be had for $6. I already have issues with my students not being able to afford the books, so I try really hard to keep them cheap (when I can)

    Cheers
    Chris

    I look forward to meeting you. The Hooker version is fine ($25 for the Burgess!!! )

    Hooker version of my signature

    My Salute shall sweep all the stars away
    From the blue threshold! One thing without stain,
    Unspotted from the world, in spite of doom
    Mine own...My white plume.
