Hi Phil,

Sounds good re Keenan. Lets see what this joker does next...

Re, WUN: Oh, didn't realize it was postponed until Jun 27. We'll already 
be in Italy (Lorraine has a meeting nearby the week before ours so we'll 
spend two weeks there).

I have booked flights, hotel, and have registered for Perugia already. 
Might not be a bad idea for you to do this too. I think you might have 
missed the data for cheapest registration though.

Enjoy Stockholm! Talk to you later,

mike
