Is S2000 the oracle of analyst forum?

Just read your bio along with others’ . I think you added the “amateur horseman” part just to impress Ms Jodi Joachim ;-)

I’ve been blissfully married for over 33 years; I don’t need to impress Ms anybody.
 
As promised:
  • If I were to take one of the CFA exams – and I thank God that I no longer have to – I would have to study for a while to be able to pass it. Maybe a month, leisurely: 50 – 60 hours, I’d guess. (Sounds like bragging, don’t it?)
  • I started learning magic when I was 8 years old. Two things happened that year that got me hooked. The first was that I joined the Cub Scouts: the father of one of the other boys in my Cub pack was a member at The Magic Castle in Hollywood, and did a show for us every year. The second was that at our school’s end-of-the-year carnival they had a magician, and I was one of the audience members asked to come up on stage and help. I do mostly close-up magic (cards, coins, rubberbands, that sort of thing), but I do some stage work as well. It takes years to learn some sleights or effects; one effect that I perform regularly took me three years to learn. It’s very enjoyable, and useful, too; when I teach a course in project risk management, people don’t remember the instructor, but they always remember the magician.
  • For 10 years I designed single- and multiple-explosively formed penetrator (EFP, and MEFP) warheads for U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC). The idea of an EFP is that when the warhead detonates, a metal plate (called a liner: usually copper or tantalum) is accelerated and formed into an aerodynamically stable projectile that flies toward the target at 2.0 – 3.0 km/sec. In an MEFP, the liner fragments into a number of projectiles. I developed many computer-aided design techniques for designing the liners. At least 10 years after I left ARDEC, my design methodology was still state-of-the-art: I found an ARDEC paper presented at a warhead conference that showcased some of my design work
That’s about it for now.
