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.

That would be wacky 'funny man' ....Neil Armstrong.

It doesn't catch everything and it doesn't always work (try outside of
North American "prime time" for better luck) but when it works it's
pretty cool.

Thanks for the suggestion Matt. That's a lot of bits they keep there.
Unfortunately for some reason the airventure.org site archives stop at
the end of last May.

Somehow I finally found the info. www.airventure.org/forums still has
last year's data. Following the link for forums from the current
airventure home page takes you to a placeholder page for this year's info.

Going through the list for the week they had 39 forums sessions in the
5:30-6:45 PM slot and 17 in the 7:00-8:15PM period.

Here's the total numbers of educational sessions last year. It shows how
busy the place is that week. Hopefully the formatting comes out OK.
