I look forward to hearing it!  (Remind me at the conference.)  I'm sorry I
forgot your previous paper.  I do remember it now that you remind me.  At
some point, some years ago now, I stopped remembering some of everything
that happened near me and started remembering only some of what I was
focussed on at the time.  This keeps coming back to haunt me.  At some
point I went from being willing to be younger again if I could know then
what I know now to being willing to be older if I could just know now what
I knew then.
