Father Sky

My class is only a few weeks away so I needed to get things to a state where I could do a dry run in front of my wife and daughter. Gad, even in front of them I was nervous and just flew through the material without any of the elaboration or detail I mentally told myself to do ahead of time. Still, they were very supportive and gave me some good tips. One is I really shouldn’t rely on my own discretion to elaborate, I should write it right there, in my notes. Another was to not assume anything. I’ve gone through some of this material so much over the last couple of years that I forget it’s not common knowledge. And while I was repeating the main theme here and there, it couldn’t hurt to do it even more. So to borrow (and slightly modify) a phrase from the 1992 election… “It’s the Calendar, Stupid!”
