Dad:
Congrats on the DW! From what I read, I think it's fully hooked up now, right?
Here's hoping the further lab tests find nothing bad...

H:
Cool stuff about Beaver Avenue! Your description of Doug Stanhope's gf: "bald girlfriend named Bingo" made me wonder if she were perhaps of the canine persuasion, but then she wouldn't be able to sign t-shirts if she were a shaved dog!

Regarding physics, here's my personal scale of 'messiness' in the sciences, where the 'CLEAN' end means you are able to do all the work using objective mathematical formulas, and the 'MESSY' end means more (and more) subjective interpretations are required.

CLEAN
Mathematics
Physics (except that crazy stuff like quantum physics)
Chemistry
Biology
Social Sciences
MESSY

My only real point here is you should remember that Physics is more like Mathematics - learn the formulas you need to, and you should be OK.

(I haven't had Physics since college, but I did take "real" Physics and found it very interesting...)

Congrats, H, on taking this next step!
