Doctor,
Once you are done with working on improving the state of architecture, take a trip to Rustic Canyon in California. Im sure the design associate, Geoff Shackelford, will love to take you around the course and explain what real architecture is about, you may even learn something, imagine that, wouldn't that be embaressing learning from someone who "only writes" books.
Im sure travelocity.com have cheap return flights Stupidsville and Egosville, so you have no excuse.
