to post a few words about thee weekend in Seattle. As you read earlier Max and I drove down from Canada. We decided to take Max's oldish Van which was camperized so we would have lots of room to bring jackets, boots, etc because the weather is sooooo unpredictable. And yes we got a great cross section. The conference was good, but a lot of sitting for a long time. The most fun was a presentation by a neuropsychologist who did an fun demo of the Nintendo Wii -an electronic interactive game device. We al wanted to go buy one after cuz it keeps the brain working.

I spoke to most of the above, mentioned by Steve and Dbiker (formerly known as "Dave"), but now known as Darrell! And he has a really nice wife named Sylvia (I hope I got that right???). Max told me later that she found Darrell on e-bay, which really confused me... I was already having trouble with the Dave/Darrell thing. We are still laughing about that one. He did correct the misunderstanding.
