"I vow inexorable vengeance upon all my enemies!"Later . . .
"Vengeance is mine!"About Me
- Name: Horace Jeffery Hodges
- Location: Seoul, South Korea
I am a retired professor. I last taught at Ewha Womans University, mostly composition, research writing, and cultural issues, but also the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

Please don't get En-Uk one of those KJP olive-drab zippered flightsuits
The only thing standing between En-Uk and one of those flight suits was Andre Kim . . .

Are you sure you don't want to buy your son a tablet? He seems to be genuinely enthusiastic about making digital art. Tablets are expensive but this really looks awkward. For drawing, a mouse is extremely frustrating to use and he is not going to get any better if he only has a mouse to work with.

^Here's a totally random thought. I wonder if some kind of specialized large mouse could be made for an ape to paintwith. A mouse need not require finger dexterity.

We'll see how well En-Uk continues his interest first.
But it's a good idea.

RE: Andre Kim:
LOL.
I know one shouldn't speak ill of the dead, but Kim literally made my skin crawl each of the 4-5 times I met him.
I can imagine that.
