Richmond,

We should all be so fortunate as to have such a rewarding
environment. Unlike you, I'm mired in one in which Building

past, are requiring the most inane documentation for things
just because they can easily do so - without scratching their
chiny-chin-chins!

Continue having fun with "real work" - teaching and learning!
