Talk about living a sybartic life?! It's a wonder I lived through it!<lol>" Is the sybartic life something like the sephardic life? Inquiring minds want to know. Oh, the SYBARITIC life. Now, I see, ol' Iso, that former denizen of Sybaris. "Fortunately, in the final 4-6 wks of each semester took the time to read all the books, write some killer papers and frequent the Dean's List. In my senior yr got the nod from Princeton to enter their grad school in Philosophy. A professor even wanted to sponsor me for a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship. Was a close call on deciding to enter the world of work instead." Gehen mir das vomit-sac, bitte. "Just think, instead of giving boring lectures about Kant & Hegel, now have much more fun making a mockery out of WS sell side research and taking the guy on the other side of my trades to the cleaners.<g>" Yes, just think. The mind spins. One's imagination is simply beggared. "Seriously, look back with thanks and appreciation for the latitude my academic mentors gave me at Rutgers. With essentially a double major in History & Philosophy, Iso was one of the early undergrads to complete an interdisciplinary course of study." Ah, yes, one of the pioneers. Janey, if we can see far today, 'tis merely because we stand on the shoulders of giants, such as Galileo, Newton, Kant and Isodope. "Been many years since I walked the tree covered paths between classes on Old Queens Campus or sat in The Ledge." Yes, and been many years, Chingachgook (pronounced "Chicago," I believe), since Natty Isodope remembered to use a subject and a predicate in composing his "riffs." Heap Big Chief write sentence fragment many many. Heap good medicine. "Best regards, Isopatch" I hope you realized Isodope coined that phrase "best regards," right about the time BP coined the phrase "pounding the table" (whilst he was, sans aucun dout, "flogging the dolphin").
