FliegendeWolf 0 #1 April 21, 2003 I just got an e-mail that a paper proposal that I submitted has been accepted for a conference in July. This will be my first paper given at a conference! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,589 #2 April 21, 2003 Eeehaw! Knock 'em dead. Are you wanting to end up in academia? Either way, this is goodness.

FliegendeWolf 0 #3 April 21, 2003 That's the plan! I figure academia is about the only way to keep someone like me off the streets... A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckInUSA 0 #4 April 21, 2003 Good luck with your conference. Of course get yourself back up in the air and get some jumps in while you're at it. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FliegendeWolf 0 #5 April 21, 2003 I know, it's terrible, isn't it? I'm waiting for two things: A) a nice day B) a weekend that is not booked solid Because I'll be done with the semester on Wednesday, the latter will take care of itself soon. Living in Michigan, not so sure of the former! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Living in Michigan, not so sure of the former! Come on out to Colorado if you get a chance. We get plenty of sun and do jump all 12 months of the year (but not all 52 weekends) and we're not nearly as cold (temperature wise) as many people believe. Of course expect some hot landings due to our thinner air and sometimes frequent no wind days.

FliegendeWolf 0 #7 April 21, 2003 Thanks for the invitation! I'll keep it in mind, although I'll want to get my license and a rig before I start visiting other DZs. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FliegendeWolf 0 #9 April 21, 2003 LOL! Not too far off base, actually. The paper I'm presenting is about the Rocky Horror Picture Show and I'm arguing that although there is an overt message of sexual excess, there is actually a stronger covert message of restraint.A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
