11:27:57 From ken brandt To Everyone: Lagnaippe!

11:28:16 From Dave Weinrich To Everyone: Nice to see everyone and interesting presentation Andy. I have to leave for an appointment

11:42:26 From Tim To Everyone: Thanks for the invitation, Andy, and the delightful presentation that brought back many memories of my time in Italy.  Alas, my schedule juggling caught up to me and I need to go!  Thanks again.

11:46:35 From Joe Jordan (Santa Cruz, CA.) To Everyone: There was a scene awhile back (painting of plaza & people) with crescent moon way wrong!  (Check out the shadows of the people & a roof line or wall, to see where the sun was.  This is geometry — aside from the difficulty of seeing such a thin crescent moon in daylight.) I have no problem with it — but it’s just a fun lurking “what’s-wrong-with-this-picture” for astronomy folks (especially) to note! ***.  THANKS for doing this, A.K.!  … have to get off now, but will look forward to the recording AND your in-person talk here in Santa Cruz next month! ***

12:09:30 From Lizzy Longsworth To Everyone: Great talk, Andy! Your brother and I depart in 2 weeks for a similar route and will seek out some of your stops!
