Good to see everyone

Our first F2F was nice yesterday.  Leah and I enjoyed seeing the class, and also talking between ourselves as we figured things out.

I liked chapter 2 of the text.  It makes sense.  The author is giving us lots of practical advice. 

Good book

I found the first chapter of the Smith textbook helpful.  Theoretical but not pie-in-the-sky.  I also like the fact that the book is short, which means it cuts to the chase and doesn't clutter things up with a bunch of secondary and tertiary information.  Good choice, Dr. Snoeyink!
