Just FYI, the CHIFOO meetings cost $5, unless you are a member of CHIFOO ($20/year)..the CHIFOO meetings and Diana's talk, I am sure, are well worth it, but...
Hello, Portland! (I miss Portland.) "Old" coach: It occurred to me today that it's been over 11 years since I learned the ways of The Force...er, uh, I mean...
