Re:

tell me more fri would be great„ what can we. should we do.

Greetings,

FYI: I'm making (provisional) arrangements for you (& guests) to visit NASA Ames Research Center on March 3 and/or 4 next week, with preference for March 4. In addition to flying the B747-400 simulator, etc., is there anything in particular that would interest you?

For instance, we have world-class astronomers & astrobiologists, and the best air traffic control automation minds on the planet. Would you like to chat with any of them?

Also: Would you like to make a presentation when you visit the Bay Area? Possible venues: Stanford or NASA Ames, or possibly Googleplex.

I think we could attract an interesting (& interested :-) audience, in spite of the short lead-time.

Alternatively there are events next week at nearby places, eg Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETT), or the Internet Archive, or Electronic Freedom Foundation (EFF).

The real question is: what would delight you? You suggest, and I'll try to return your gracious hospitality with whatever Bay Area contacts I may summon.

One caveat: It is possible that a Federal Furlough may begin on Friday, March 4, the very day you'd like to visit us. In that (still unlikely) event, it would be much better to visit on Thursday.

All the best to you & yours.
