Anyone else

[Mark Sacha]

I'd love to commit to the group read of GR - it's been high up on my reread
list especially since my first one wasn't quite so diligent. That being
said, Spring '16 is thesis time. So I will likely follow along and would
like to participate but that's tentative early on. Mostly I'd just like for
the read not to fizzle out - walk the walk kind of issue there I guess.
