more funding community work?

[Jeff Aitken]

Thanks Harrison. Considering that my undergrad and grad schools venerated St. Francis and Gandhi, respectively, a little fasting now and then is not really a problem.

> Jeff – somehow I missed the “Walnuts and Lemon” routine. May I say that as a member of your PhD committee I am very pleased with your ascetic approach to such a high calling (the PhD). Mortification of the body often has the positive effect of sharpening the mind. Since you got your degree, I guess it worked.

> Great sage wisdom. What resonates is the futility of anxious waiting and marketing (sometimes the same thing). Much better, I've found, to just get busy and make something happen. It's actually a very good day when we get more known for making something happen! :) Anxiety, it seems, is never as rewarded as generosity.
