Tom, I'm afraid I misunderstood... some days ago I sent you an e-mail saying I'd be in SF for a meeting shortly, and still owe you a pint from 2002 when we were supposed to meet (except that I ended up spending the day dragging a blimp around downtown SF trying to get it into an exbibition hall.)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
