It's time although it still creeps in its petty pace....

[Ian Livingston]

Well, let none accuse me of cowardice. Thanks to a little El Nino action on
Left coast, and having finally unpacked my library for the first time in
several years, I have the opportunity spend some time with P, Gravity, and
gravitas. I suppose I'll have more questions than answers, but what the
hey, huh? Maybe someone else will chime in with yet more questions to get
us off the launch pad.

Not a big rush to sign up, huh? That alone could be a sign of still-birth.

Anyway, I'll get the sign-up ball rolling:


March 15-21            pp 1-7  -- Ian Livingston
March 22-28            pp 8--17
March 29-April 4     pp 17--20
(yes, only 3-4 pages; time already for catch-up after everyone jumps
in with their overarching GR experiences and perceptions)

April 5--11      pp 20-30
April 12=18     pp 30-38
April 19--25     pp 38-42

April 26-May 2    pp 42-48
May 3--9            pp 48-54
May 10-16         pp 54-61
May 17-23        pp 61-72
May 24-30         pp72--74 - Laura Kelber

May 31--June 6            pp 74-85
June 7--June 13         pp 85-94
June 14--june 20        pp 94-116
