BONUS OPPORTUNITY: to ENCOURAGE an early first visit to 
    student hours!
=====
*   During the FIRST TWO WEEKS of class --
    (so, by Friday, September 4)

    COME to BSS 322 during student hours
    and tell me a JOKE,
    and you will receive a 1-point BONUS on
    Homework 1

    *   (Since the main point is to come by my office in
        BSS 322, you must tell me a joke there to receive
        this bonus.)

    *   (If you find me in BSS 302 at a time other than
        student hours, and tell me a joke then, you can
        also receive this bonus. 

        But you can be more sure that I will be there
        during student hours.)

=====
in case you would like to use vlab to reach
    DrRacket (and other campus software)
===== 
*   to reach vlab:
    in a browser, go to:
    https://vlab.humboldt.edu

    *   once you have logged in, search for DrRacket
    
        *   (if you search for Racket, you get the
	    command-line version, not the graphical
	    user interface version...)

    *   side note: I had to log into Google Drive
        while logged into vlab for DrRacket to
	be able to save a Definitions file to Google Drive

        *   search for Google Drive, click on the
	    Google Drive app found, and follow the
	    instructions to log in

        *   after I did this, I then DID have a
	    Google Drive option as a choice when
	    saving in DrRacket
