yeah, no degrees. although maybe we could do something parallel if we saw any reason to.
are we skyping? where i have trouble is thinking of getting out away from the computer. but maybe i should let that go. it would be really nice to be able to get to younger kids, too, before they've gotten ground down by exactly the thing we're complaining about.
