Chess and falconry are both delights, but not on the
CV {grin}.  For the record, the licensed falconer is
my lady.  As to the math, if you'd like, I'll be more
than happy to send along a draft of my current paper. 
I'm looking at the various ways of describing braided
categories as special case(s) of the more general 2-
or n-categories.

(and the gear) out of any tree I might land in, but
that's about it.

prefer to have be true collide.

'Each game of chess means there's one less
      Variation left to be played;
 Each day got through means one or two less
      Mistakes remain to be made.'
