Dr. Eric Vogt

Dr. Eric Vogt and I played a game at Early Music Vancouver concerts at the Chan which he attended with regularity. When I spotted this large friendly grizzly-bear-of-a-man I would loudly ask him this sort of a question:

How are the charms?

He would answer:

They are accelerating as we speak.

Or my question might be:

How are those neutrinos doing?

His usual answer:

They are going through me this instant.

People around him would look at him and then at me stupefied. Dr. Vogt never smiled. It was our private joke.
