No, not behind, I'm just a terrible correspondent, these days. :) I read your email but forgot to reply. Between trying to re-integrate with the world and being forgetful on an intense new level....I'm a slow emailer. :) That's why I started early on the TSA convention, to compensate...But hey, it's working! The speaking schedule is already 50% confirmed! :)
