Hopefully, I'll be able to chronicle the associated increase in confidence.

@Jochen- You may have set them a bit too high and too fast. :)

I had studied really hard before I went on that trip, and I was sure I was "ready," but … well, not so much. :)

Fortunately, things have improved a bit since then.

Thanks for the memories!
