my first job was as at Harvard Medical School as a researcher in schizophrenia

Wow. That's brilliant, Fred! When you come over in May, we have to talk about that. I have read a bit about the brain and I find the organic aspects of such disorders fascinating...

PS-- I hope we're not boring people.

You mean the thousands of people who frequent this thread? <g> You are definitely not boring me.

RE: Psych

I took my first class in psychology from George W. Goethals at Harvard Extension in 1984, while working as a "milieu therapist" on a locked psych unit at Somerville Hospital. It was an intro to developmental psych, and I am only now fully beginning to appreciate it 20 years later, now that I am finally a parent. I went to the Jung Institute for a summer intensive and briefly considered a career as a Jungian therapist, but the siren song of the bull market was too strong for me to resist. In 1987, I lamented that I majored in economics rather than psychology, as I sought to understand the causes of the crash and the nature of the "animal spirits" of Wall Street.

Good luck with your Dish. I can't wait to have my Echostar system removed next month. Haven't yet decided whether to return to cable or switch to Direct-TV. Echostar PVR is very buggy and doesn't integrate well with Tivo. I'm glad Charlie Ergen just raised rates $2/month as it's given a nice lift to my CMCSA.

Could you give me a link to your 3 books? What is #4 about?
