Don’t Bury Your Computer in the Ground: Free Lecture Sep 20

It happens to the best of us! But I still got a big kick out it: I already have a Jew, so I'm not going to the sale—even though she's not a "classic" Jew, I guess. My wife's great grandfather was a Jewish émigré from Lithuania (which Laura and I got to visit together on the Musical Mission Team in 2006!).
