General Out Of Touch Notice: I'll be checking my mail on Tuesday morning
but by afternoon I should be in a meeting in Boston and will only be
checking email every couple of days after that.  So if anyone has questions
about or needs anything it will be best to check the Marriott lobby or try
my cell phone.
