<p>Lizzardfire, that is excellent to hear–and as for visiting, I will be back to begin knocking out the PhD this fall (pending acceptance, but I got in back in '04 and this time around also have fellowship support, so I am not too worried). In my day, though, we didn’t have a “red delicious” OR a “coed bathroom in Tropic”. :-)</p>
<p>Ben, good to know that the world has not come to an end. The Ride is one of those traditions that should not die.</p>
