Hi Rick,

this is great but Nov 4 is not going to work for me (it is next day to  
my wedding anniversary and we plan a trip for that week). Can we put  
my talk on the next meeting after that ? I suppose it will be in  
December, right ?

I have never given a talk for as long as 2 hours you mention but I can  
extend it with live demo and questions.
