I was actually wondering about Ozzy myself... I think you're right, Chuck. Astronomy brings us together, but I'm always amazed at some of the talents/interests outside of astronomy of many of those I've met through SLAS. If all we had to share with each other were our thoughts about the latest eyepiece design from Televue, or how M42 looked last night, then the appellation of "geek" would certainly be apropos. I'm one of the more boring types. My only other serious interest is how to pay next month's bills. Well, that's not exactly correct. I'm also interested in how to pay this month's bills.
