Schedule of Public Appearances — 2006:
Extended Sabbatical: 2006
Last year I took time out from most gigs involving travel, and I'm
going to go on with the time out. Please don't ask me to come give a
speech, unless you are the King of Sweden. I have speeched and
paneled and signed and all that for several decades, and feel that
now it's other people's turn.
