college study

I like learning. Partly it's the good influence of my late father, and I said so in my eulogy. I keep learning new programming languages, for one thing. :-) And I like learning strange stuff. Some years ago I bought a text book about writing systems and read it with great pleasure. Some years earlier a textbook about (human) languages and their relationship ("The world's major languages", Bernard Comrie, Ed. -- VERY good). There are lots of ways to keep your mind exercised. That's true. Studying the language is one example of "learning" you could undertake. I remember a teleconference with an Indian colleague some years ago. He had to drop off early because he was going off to Hebrew class -- he had recently joined our team in Tel Aviv. paul
