I've gotten the things for years and another came yesterday. This time they were having a fire sale on the things. The short version is I just sprung for the Quantum Physics series (Dr. Benjamin Schumacher presenting). Downloaded the first couple of lectures. My geek heart is singing ..singing... with joy. They are awesome. They are beyond awesome.
I do love me some quantum physics.
I am such a geek.
My PHB orders them for his junkets to Richmond.
He loaned me a lengthy one on Martin Luther. I'm a history buff so it was right up my alley.

Just a little OCD thing to brighten my day: Today's date is 030612. How cool is that?
3 x 2 = 6
6 x 2 = 12
Three doubled is six. Six doubled is twelve!
There is probably some algebraic equation to express today's date, but it just feels so good to type it: 030612 030612 030612

The winners were a couple celebrating their 69th that night. They got married in 1943, right before he left for the war as a 17 year old. Color my gast flabbered. They were there with their kids, grand kids, and great grand kids.
Wow!! I hope they got a nice prize. They must be special. Thanks everyone for the congrats.
