About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures.

Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a position to start that effort again. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I remembered my physics forums ID and password, and even more shocked to find that my old account was still active, along with the questions I asked 20 years ago (and surely will have again in round 2) and the very generous answers from those wonderful forum members.

So now I'm looking forward to starting my journey all over again with a whole new set of questions. Thank you to all physics forum members past, present, and future, to whom I will undoubtedly be turning for wisdom again. Starting now. :-)

Funny! IIRC, PF was barely more than a HS project back then.
