Hey, thanks for the advice and encouragement, Tony.  With my learning
style, I'm kind of enamored with online classes these days - my son's
taking Harvard CS50 (and totally "getting it," at age eleven, btw) and I'm
awaiting Georgetown's Dante/Purgtatorio, which doesn't start for a while.
Just did a quick little search on edx.org and found:

https://www.edx.org/course/circuits-electronics-mitx-6-002x-0
and
https://www.edx.org/course/electronic-interfaces-bridging-physical-uc-berkeleyx-ee40lx

Do you think either of those would be a good start?  One better than the
other?  Or should I really just be shopping books?
