D'oh! I can't seem to type anything without offending someone.


You didn't see the smiley face?

Yes, I was just being lazy by not typing my own smiley back. Now I had
to make the effort of typing another letter instead of just typing :-)
originally. I can't win :-)

Of course you're going to be around for a long, long time yet.

Hm. For the first time since I turned 63, I felt my age last week diving
for a hot grounder over the bag that would have gone for extra bases. Ten
years ago I'd have come up with that sucker and beat the runner to the base;
all I could do this time was knock it down and keep it in the infield.


I forget what comedian I heard say this, but it's been my philosophy
too: "God put me on this planet with a finite number of heartbeats, so I
don't want to waste them exercising."

I was surprised to see the demand for presentations has gotten so large
that some talks started at 7 PM. A couple of those were quite interesting
because the put the truly fringe experimental topics at the late times.


Is that 7 AM or 7 PM???

The first forum is at 8:30 AM. I thought I kept the previous year's
AirVenture Today papers, but I must have left them at the local
aerodrome. I thought nothing ever disappeared from the Internet, but I
can't find the forum schedules from last year to verify the times. I do
remember that some started very late after the airshow. One was on the
XCOR rocket racers.

Like their web site shows...2 months, 3 weeks to go.
