A Quick Yuck! (but the good kind)

Any of my former physics students (phormer physics?) who happen to have stumbled in here will be amused to hear that I finally managed to meet Tom from thephysicsclassroom.com.  I was visiting a friend (phriend? Okay, I'll stop) in Chicago and Tom lives in the suburbs north of Chicago and we'd been corresponding about a project he's doing and he invited me over to work together and for hamburgers.  So I got to meet Tom, his wife, their dog, and their 15 yr. old son and sit in Adirondack chairs in their backyard in Libertyville and do some web development together and then we had dinner.  It was great.  I'm just sorry I didn't think to take a picture because probably no one will believe me.  Mega props to all y'all who survived my physics courses.
