There is something about the thought of Wobblies in Oxford that delights me ;-D
(I was never really political enough to be an "activist", although I participated in a few anti-war rallies when I was a hippie. And my feminism was always more personal than ideological, i.e., "What do you mean, I can't do that because I'm a 'girl'?")
Your eclectic approach to life often provides me with delights and other reasons to smile. You are not only the only astrophysicist I know, you're also the only change-ringer - and very nearly the only Wobbly, at least as far as I know (I can't really count Leslie Fish, because we only exchanged email a few times). And you're smarter than I am, which I find refreshing.
Seriously, thank you very much for the extremely kind words! There shall be a super-sized extra-large hug coming your way at the Sooper Sekrit October Pagan Fest! *smile*
I just tell things the way I see 'em. But as long as you're not too busy, I'll collect that hug in October! (And I'm very much looking forward to whatever delights you have planned for us all.)
Our plans for P**T*** 2010 are so awesome that you cannot even conceive of them! Indeed, our delights are so delightful that we have not even conceived of them! At least not yet[*]...
[*] To be fair, we didn't sit down and decide what to do for the main ritual last year until the very, very end of August. So we still have plenty of time! Also, the Ashokan contract has arrived, which is a happy thing. Should be able to have invites in the mail by early July! Hooray!

(I'm curious about how the planned improvements to the facilities will affect us this year. But that's a question for private conversation.)

That's the plan... but, to be fair, we don't get any credit until we actually pull this off! :-D

Indeed!
