Cy, First, congratulations! I wholeheartedly applaud those of you who make the effort and all it entails to go for full-time schooling. This was a great read. It must have been wonderful to hear it in person. A note on another subject, the word tinny. I read somewhere that the term "tin ear" originated with testing potential blacksmiths by having them hammer away at an anvil. If someone's ears were sensitive and rang as a result, they were deemed to have "tin ears" and advised not to take up the trade - the opposite of what tin ear implies now. Ruth Phillips
