I'll be there, as will MANY of you so that is almost as good as a meeting. Right?

We'll be back in February after the holidays and year-end settle down. In the meantime, I am presenting at one of the break-out sessions next week and sitting on the panel at onother one, and at least one of our members is presenting in a third so here is the lowdown:
