  Okie doke. I'll come up with something. I might need you to 
  supply some slides if you don't mind (don't know what yet). We could use 
  my pics but, in the name of humanity, there's only so much you can 
  subject these folks to.   I'll figure out the rest later.

    We're talking about speaking at AGA right, or at NEC?

     Well, If you tell me today (no pressure, right 
    ;-) I might be able to get Janine to get your name in the program. After 
    today, I'm still happy to step aside, but but the program will already have 
    gone to print.  Jeff's little trick took us by surprise.   Karen

 Tell 
      you what, by when do you need to know?  If I can come up with an idea 
      between now and then, I'll do it. Provided we can keep Penny from heckling 
      ;-)

       I just got another e-mail from Janine, and 
      that is what he agreed to do, but he still won't come early enough for the 
      AGA meeting.     You've got plenty to talk about... Aren't you 
      that famous guy who writes the plant column for AFM?  I know you 
      don't wear gold lame hot pants, but I bet you could still keep the folks 
      awake, and I'm sure they'd learn more from you than from that "other" 
      columnist.<g>   Karen

        Well, I'd have to have something to talk about -- I mean 
        better my usual claptrap ;-)   Btw, when Amano flies first clas, he only asks us to pick up the 
        coach cost and he pays the diff. That puts Jeff voice a whole octave 
        above Amano, a prima donna goes

         Well,   I just heard from Janine, and he was 
        absolutely inflexible about coming on Thurs. instead of Friday, so I 
        guess I'm the AGA speaker... unless SCOTT wants to do 
        it...<g>   Karen

 Hmmm, 
          is this pointing to the shape of things to come for AGA2007?

           Hi Folks,   Jeff Senske is being a bit of a prima 
          donna about NEC... wants to fly first class, and will only work with 
          an ADA tank. (I think we have an Amano wannabe on our hands)  Add 
          to this the fact that the flights he booked don't have him getting in 
          until 3:25... the AGA meeting will be over by then.  
   He says he didn't "remember" he was 
          supposed to speak at that, but I made it very clear to him when we 
          first talked.  In any case, the options at this point 
          are:   1. Janine is going to try to get him to 
          agree to fly coach (NEC can't pay that much for a domestic speaker) 
             2. She was willing to put him up an extra 
          night if he'll fly in Thursday to do the AGA meeting too.   3. She and I decided that I'd do a 
          program if we can't get something worked out with him.   4. I told her that if he got entirely 
          snooty about the first class, we could probably get Dennis Dietz to 
          fill in.  He does a beautiful job, is local, and would probably 
          be thrilled to be invited.   But then, after I got off the phone with 
          her, I was wondering whether we (AGA) could/should offer to pay the 
          difference and let him fly 1st class if he'll come in time to speak at 
          the AGA session.  What do you think?  I didn't want to 
          mention it to Janine until I heard from you guys, but we've got to 
          move fast on this.  She's not planning on calling him until 
          tomorrow to let her blood pressure lower a bit<g> but then we 
          need to get this sorted out pronto.   I can be easily swayed in any 
          direction.  I'm ticked that he's acting this way, ticked that he 
          blew off the AGA meeting, but I'd like to offer it to our real 
          die-hard members who show up early for this meeting year after 
          year.  I feel like me doing something is a bit of an 
          afterthought, though as Janine pointed out, it has been several years 
          since I spoke at NEC.   Thoughts? Other options I haven't 
          thought of?   Karen
