At the end of the exam, there was a question for extra credit. The question was: Who said, "The medium is the message"? Well, I could not for the life of me recall who had rambled off that particular, little expression. I had written the quote down, but not the author, Marshall McLuhan. I can't remember whether or not that I had felt that it wasn't important at the time to jot down a name. Or that perhaps at that particular moment the instructor was speaking faster than my note taking ability. Or even if I simply did not know how to even spell McLuhan, (Mc and Mac names can, at times, be bothersome). I do know I won't be getting that extra point. And I'll remember Mr. McLuhan from this point forward.
Anyway, school's out. Whoo hoo! Now the Christmas festivities can begin in earnest.

VG: Merry Christmas to you and all yours, to Thomas and ALW!
Did you print-out that label?
NHW: Yea, it's amazing what you can do, with a cheap printer and a glue stick, when you have no other inspiration for a photograph. Tee, hee.
A great holiday to all VG's commenters and family--and to VG, of course, and VM.
I'll be scarce, but will pop in from time to time.
Tomasso: Thank you, and the same to you and yours. But it's early days yet, you'll be back around Christmas Day won't you?
Merry xmas Thomas.
