whew... did the practice talk today. went well, got good suggestions from my group, and they didn't make me cry with things to do before my defense next Thursday

So, as things stand now, it looks like I will be able to join you guys on Saturday I NEED to get away from my desk if only for a couple of hours! I will give you the final word tomorrow night, but looking good.

I am looking forward to seeing you all and getting a nice ride in! Now off home to relax a bit and eat some dinner....
