    Very cool and generous Karma. I'll be using my limited vacation time in May to fly back to my home state for my grandma's 101st birthday.

    Hope whoever wins has a great time at LSAF!

    She has pretty much no short term memory left anymore (fortunately no other major health ailments though!), so over the course of the day as she went around to check out and listen to the various rooms, each subsequent one would be her favorite one of the day!

    Bud, its held at the embassy suites in North Dallas/Richardson. Prices are reasonable and they have a happy hour in the evening with drinks included.

    Its nice to have a room within the hotel so you can move from display to display and enjoy the systems. The party goes on till well past midnight. Its a very good time.

    Free flight and dinner...now this is getting interesting. I'm holding out for one of them fabled Lightman back rubs.

    C'mon Frederique......pick a number.....

    I would but I'm afraid you'd rig the whole thing just to get me in close proximity.

    Joking aside, I really would love to come down but the timing couldn't be worse for my work schedule.

    Lookit....could you be any more of a wuss at this time? Just say you're scared...

    Alright, i will pick a number.
    If i win, i get to pick the person that goes in my place.
    Deal?
    Or...maybe i will just find a way to make it work...

    For the nerds like me that would look for the largest gap, and run probability analysis, I reorganized them based on the number selected

    Now i’m excited.

    I mentioned it to my wife. She had the look of confusion... similar to what a 5year old’s face might resemble after trying to explain the whole “Transgender” fad. :confused:

    Or perhaps like an "old school" commercial aviation pilot, when he first flew an aircraft with a modern "glass cockpit":

    yeah -- lots of stuff is cancelled tomorrow already -- I'm all like "this is northern New England. IT SNOWS IN THE WINTERTIME... freakin' deal with it".

    I have a client teleconference (company's in MA) tomorrow afternoon -- methinks they're all gonna be callin' in as well.
