No, I haven't forgotten you all

To everyone (particularly Dan), my sincere apologies for not being around. No, I have not fallen off the face of the Earth, but I have a number of issues here at work that have taken 110% of my time. I run an eight person firm that does aerospace engineering and light manufacturing for government customers. We have two major projects and two more major proposals all due this month. As the owner of the business, you can imagine that this "perfect storm" gets all my attention. I'll be back, but I'm going to be pretty scarce until the end of April (particularly if I want a day off to go to Carlisle ). I do have a few tech topics almost ready to go, so please bear with me and hopefully I'll get time to start posting.

Hey, I'll be at Carlisle on Friday the 25th. This is me (in fact, taken as I was leaving the "Fireman's field" fall Carlisle 2006):

Good to hear every thing's OK Joe.
Thought that being the Tech advisor went to your head
and you figured it was all beneath you!

Maybe a few of us can hook up at Carlisle!

Looks to me like you are quite a character, sort of the modern day Red Skelton.

That's a relief.

I was concerned that you might have been pinned down by sniper fire.
