Among her many fine qualities, Natasha has a sharp eye for how I look. It's
not difficult for her to get me to pay attention to my appearance, since I
am quite vain. :-) I'll keep the science and philosophy, keep up
appearances, maintain my English accent (which seems to be an asset), and
continue improving my pacing, timbre, and other cues that have surprisingly
large impact on acceptance or openness to a message. However, I will *not*
resort to including the word "God" in every second sentence.
Onward!
Max
