Today is the last day to register online... but you can register onsite
[although, if you do it onsite, there's no guarantee that food options will be available].

I'm giving a talk on Saturday on my approach to relativity using rotated graph paper and GeoGebra.

Well I made a major blunder. I skipped the offered dinner. Robphy ended up eating at the table with Jim Gates. Ouch! Jealous!

It's nice to see your enthusiasm pay off in this way. Enjoy the rest of the afternoon together! :smile:
(Greg, please do not skip dinners anymore. It is better to have one too many.)
