I appreciate the vote of confidence. I would have loved to be hip 30 years ago, but now I've gotten kinda used to being an old fart. Still, if the good fairy were to waft through my windey and offer to hip-ify me with a wave of her wand... well, as Mark Twain said in a different context, it would be dangerous to try the experiment.
I *do*, by the way, ride a fixed-gear bicycle. No doubt that's desperately passe, though?

It is very easy for someone to be good at math; most of the time the kind of math that economists do would not impress a mathematician, but it is enough to impress people around them in the school of social sciences. -- Thomas Piketty
