it was mentioned in an earlier announcement by erik and the location
was clarified in the geography lesson that followed.

What does "away game" mean?

It means that the football hooligans will be out of town rather than
filling all the hotels and drinking all the beer. I'm told that Athens
during a college football game is truly a sight to see. (From a
distance. On closed-circuit camera. In a bunker)

It refers to a sporting event that takes place at the other team's location.

ah, the college football fans.  they're fine.  they just fill up the hotels,
excercise their god-given right to say spiteful things about the
opponents, and get just a tad excitable

if it weren't for the hotel problem, a football weekend would be a great
time to have a conference.

Is that considered old? I mean my house is 100+ year old, but I
consider it newish. I guess it depends on the continent :-).

i just saw a video with time shear, (x',y',t') = (x,y,t-y).  it's like that
except (x',y',t') = (x,y,t-x).  x increases as you go west.  we think
we have old stuff here because we go to california on a regular
basis.

as you can see, the "newness" here is just an illusion.  ☺.

On this continent anything beyond the date of expiration is
considered old.  The typical date of expiration of a house is
30yrs (conveniently in line with the typical mortgage on a
new construction).

Our neighbor's house in New Castle, NH, USA was built in 1647. It's one
of a dozen or more 17th century homes in town.
