Isn't this why God invented plastic????
I am really getting turned on to this symposium. And it would be so
great to see you there, John.
By the way, I am coming to Tahoe for my son's wedding on July 31.
Possibility of traveling south/west after that, and it would be great
fun to get together again. Wolf? John? Anybody interested in a
get-together in the Bay area around the end of July?
