    I'm at Virginia Tech today, visiting people in the Math department.  I'll be giving a talk this afternoon in their seminar series.   The link is here:

    The seminar is free and open to the public, but they probably won't be serving any Q beforehand, so I'll understand if none of y'all come  :)

    The real question is - did The Donald know that it was a word (I have no doubt he regularly flips thru his copy of the O.E.D.), or did he (or others) make a portmanteau from his frequent usage of "big league"?

    @JohnInCarolina was it recorded?  I seriously would be interested even though my math classes are 20 yrs in the past. Unfortunately I was nose to the grind stone.

    Egg on my face??  I would gladly admit that I did not know "bigly" was an actual word (and with an interesting etymology to boot). The O.E.D. has over 600K words. Many times more than are in the average persons daily vocabulary.

    Still doesn't change the fact that Trump is a foppotee. :)

    Just unboxed my new Field skillet. Nice. Smooth. Light. Has a nice church bell ring.

    Will give it a go this weekend.

    Anyone want to start a men's march?   ;)

    So I call Comcast this afternoon as my two year contract with them was ending. My current contract with Comcast was $69.99mo for "Blast" high speed internet. The Comcast representative tells me that their best deal is $74.99mo for high speed internet. I have him explain the package. It turns out this "package" is half of what I currently get. My exact quote, "So you're telling me that if I spend $5 more I get half of what I currently have?" Are you kidding me? That's ridiculous. He than says I could get the same package I currently have for $20 more a month. Seriously? You can't even make this stuff up. I said I'm going elsewhere.

    My wife calls two minutes later. We get the "Blast Pro" (upgrade) high speed internet with free HBO for a year. $69.99mo. 

    I hate you Comcast!

    I have no idea.  I didn't even know it was live streamed until after I gave the talk.

    I hope your agent knew.  Streaming rights and the extra royalties are nice.  Especially for buying eggcessories.

    Sounds like Comcast loves your wife, though; or at least her voice!  
     
    I'd read here, or some other forum, that one provider guaranteed their introductory price, for life, as long as you didn't let your service lapse; I could easily go for a deal like that!  (not offered here, of course).

    Just got to New Orleans, for the memorial service for my Brother in Law.
    My Beautiful Wife is amazing, dealing with everything in the last 4 months, losing both her mother and brother. I don't know how she does it.
    I will be doing the eulogy, and as his love was the sea, he will be buried there.
    He was a chef, a tug boat Captain, and loved New Orleans. He was my closest friend. He was very kind to me, at a time I was not worthy. I married his sister after dang near stalking her, for 4 years. He welcomed me as his brother. I can never thank him enough.
    My life has been better knowing him.
    Please keep Suzy in your thoughts the next couple of days.
    Thanks to all.

    Ron, I hope to have someone as eloquent as you speak for me when I pass.

    Please send my condolences to your wife.
