    TeX for formulas?  Don't have it and did not even know it existed, but
    sounds far less painful than Word or messing around with superscripts,
    baseline shifts etc. in Illustrator.

    Next week will be fine.  Enjoying the two-variable statistics portion of
    Meesus, and should probably set up a spread sheet for linear regression and
    correlation (just for the heck of it and while I remember how), as well as a
    spreadsheet for great-circle sailing.  Excel is not my native language, so
    should keep me plenty busy until you return ;-)
    
    If you happen to be staying somewhere with a TV and they are not boycotting
    USA programming, check out "Numbers" on Friday eve.  Hero is a university
    applied-math professor who solves crimes with blackboards full of formulas
    for his FBI brother.  I enjoy it, but the FBI brother is not a well written
    and/or played character IMHO, and it does not have doctor or lawyer
    character to bolster the ratings.  Hence, slated for cancellation, so catch
    it soon.
