Supposed to? Did they delay it? Or cancel altogether?

Don't know yet. I was supposed to go speak at a conference there, but have had zero success reaching the person who was supposed to arrange for me to speak there. Today I saw the list of technical sessions is (finally) posted online, and I'm not in it.

I sent e-mails to the three people who can sort this out (two of them my bosses), but the one in Germany is out of the office for a couple of weeks, the one here in Redmond is apparently away from e-mail today, and the one in China is probably only just now waking up on Saturday morning.

There were two other things I was going to do as long as I was there, but one was being arranged by my vanished colleague and that plus the other may not be worth the expense of the trip.

If it means I stay home in February, well, I'll just enjoy the time at home.

Here is what I suspect.

People will start Computer Conferencing much more. You won’t have to travel as much.
Prince Charles appeared by hologram, and in a few years, you will attend your meetings the same way.

So, with all this free time on your hands, are you going to start a garden?
