GREAT!  I'm totally tempted but live about 4 billion miles away.  Think of me
mewling away in the backwaters (albeit heading for summer) of Western Australia
while you have an invigorating conference.  I want to be a world class 
facilitator
too.  If anyone feels like feeding me titbits during the conference, I'd love to
hear them. Have fun.
