provided a few comments about the latest JR Journal:
It was a slow day at the shop, so at midday I cracked open my latest JR Journal to peruse as I
slurped my soup. It didn't take long to be sucked into the vortex of David
Finkelstein's obsessions. I found myself counting and re-counting, reading and
re-reading about stars and azure lines until I actually understood! Never have
I had so much pleasure self-inducing bloodshot eyes and a headache. During the
time I was engrossed in the two Finkelstein articles I noticed I had three
voicemails, which lead me to theorize that I thrice completely ignored the
phone ringing!! Further reading brought several fine articles and when I turned
the last page and looked at my watch, lo and behold, it was quittin' time!
Thanks to the authors and editor for another great JR Journal! No better way to
kill a day.

Finally, a note from the editor:
Paul Hybert provided me some excellent troubleshooting
advice that should help me to try to minimize the instances of people receiving
two email copies of the weekly JR Newsletter.
Unfortunately, with family and friends visiting this week and next, I
have not had time to test these new solutions.
So at least for the time being, I will continue to inconvenience
trillions of electrons. Enjoy the
holidays.
