The Sage Advice of a Beloved Mentor

My mentor is a brilliant, successful professor, world reknowned in our field, and a wonderful man. I haven't seen him in at least 20 years. I left the field. His name is Jack Katz. Hi Jack!

(Sorry to my wife Janet, who is once again putting up with that artificial bullshit, and doing her usual great job of it).

"Why do something today, if you can do it tomorrow, right?"
