Strike,

<<< Re the possible visit to Underwater Intervention, in New Orleans, in

what is now just two weeks away, I'm still arguing about the wisdom of
them
sending me!  I'll let you know immediately a firm decision is made.
(Although the time-frame they're now suggesting won't allow any time for

catching up with mates, or diving!)  :-) >>>

    As it turns out, it is actually possible that I may be in New
Orleans for Business on ( or around ) the 12th of February. I can always
"Bend" those biz schedules!! :-)
