I didn't think people would be up, have had breakfast and be ready for a talk
by 8:30 AM - but that's one possible solution if everyone agrees to it. We are
having the field trip start off early on Friday too - so I guess it
shouldn't be a
big deal if we start the day early on Saturday too. People will have a little 
less time in the morning - but will have a longer lunch break.
