Thanks Mark. A lot of it is my job. I like to feel prepared to at least give a thoughtful guess to most questions my students might ask. What makes an interesting teacher is depth of knowledge.

I love to read, and hopefully some year I can put a list that interesting together.

Looking back on the teachers I remember, your comment about knowledge seems pretty fitting.
