HAY, hey, HEEEY! Did you know that this year's LANL workshop had the
highest percentage of girls ever? I *think* it was around 40%!
And what more can I do? I have Cheryl (my wife) running the workshops, and
have a 6mo old baby girl! SHEEESH!
Then again, having more girls come to workshops will hold the interest of
more 13 year old boys, wouldn't it?
