Ah, a new year, a new time, a new place for the old files.   
 
Even though the year is young, I have learned many things.  For example, I 
now know that an angel is love, there's something hidden beneath the sand, 
swamp chickens can run on water, and uniform convergence of a sequence of 
continuous functions on an open set extends to the closure.  Yes, indeed 
it is a brave new world out there, and I am just one of the many wondrous, 
wondering, wandering creatures which inhabit it.  
 
I am in New York right now, but chalk up the cues, because I'm flying on  
home on the 9th.  Wheeeeeeeeeeee.....
