    Whoa! I thought that was a meteor, but no ... it was the topic of
    string theory flying way over my head!

    Sorry, Amelia, I'm _no_ help on this subject. ;-)

    I just looked at Amazon for any interesting books.

    The book that people seem to be raving about is Brian Greene's "The
    Elegant Universe." One reviewer (who gave the book 5 of 5 stars)
    titled his comments, "I felt my brain growing!" That's cool. The
    _review_ is well organized and thoughtfully written. Amazon notes
    that "26 of 26 people found the following review helpful."

    Hey, I wish you luck and hope you find a knowledgable late night owl
    with whom you can chit chat.

    It sounds like an interesting topic!!
