	Understood.  I was just explaining.  What I would like to do
	next is find a home and then get an inventory from Rob to
	see what pieces have not been received, get status on them
	and then try to get anything made that would otherwise remain
	unmade.

	You came in very late, and by all accounts did a wonderful
	job.  I think you certainly deserve a little "quality time"
	with your creation for bragging and photos.

	Me too.  I was in this from the beginning and two years is
	a fairly serious investment into something, but it simply
	could not be this time around.

	However, I am already wanting to start another one for the
	next conference.  What the hell.  Any suggestions would be
	welcome.

	I was hoping for that as well.  You never know what may pop
	up, though.

	I'm not a person who is easily moved, and in truth am highly
indifferent 
	to much that people find so touching.  However, one of the few
spectacles 
	that has succeeded in piercing me deeply has been the one perceived
whilst
	standing amid the seemingly endless ocean of graves at Arlington, being 
	unable to help but to attempt to contemplate each and every single
individual 
	life that came to rest here and by what means they may have done so.
