I'll tell you what... I'll play him at Halo, and if he beats me, put money on him. ;-)

>Good to see you and Kevin again at our users group. I agree it was an excellent session last night and that Kevin's presentation skills have improved dramatically.

>There are indeed some exciting features for stored procedures in the newer SQL version, particularly the ability to do pivot tables and powerful recursions. If anybody is interested in catching the session, it will be presented at the SouthWest Fox conference in Arizona this fall.

>Thanks Kevin, we will be asking you back again.

>Thanks, Robert (and JB)...

>By the way, Robert, the pub that we were told to go to afterwards (I won't mention the name) lost it's liquor license!!! When the server told JB it was BYOB, I had to explain to him what that was. They served us one complimentary beer each (and since it was Coors Light, I gave mine to JB). But I'll say this - the place had the BEST pizza steak sandwich I've ever had.

>Yeah, I had a good time last night. I tend to be inconsistent as a speaker. There have been events when I've had eval scores higher than some INETA people....and a few times when, to be honest, I suck (and the one I did last year for you guys definitely fell into the 2nd category). I average about one clunker every 9-12 months.

>Strangely, I tend to do better if I'm in a bad mood. Driving down from Allentown yesterday evening, I was on my cell phone with my wife's youngest brother, who was begging me for a couple hundred $$$ to go to some Halo convention in Texas - and then I got lost trying to find your location because they got rid of that Oreland exist. So my blood pressure my boiling when I got there!!!

>Anyway, good to see you guys again....
