All I have to say is:  Screw the physicists!

You should know that Steve and I owe it all to the motivational  
speaking of the NVO Summer School faculty.  We were interviewed in  
transit back from Aspen in September '05 – in my case in the food  
court of the Denver airport.

You can calibrate the article from the author's description of me as  
"slightly graying".  She also calls me "tall", which I can get behind  
since it suggests that my 6'5" brother is outlandishly altitudinous.
