These usually end up going on for a lot longer than 2 hours, and it takes 
at least an entire day's worth of energy.  Unless a really hot prospect 
comes along (Ray Kurzweil, Marvin Minsky, etc.) I'm probably out of the 
business for now.  Just don't have the time and energy for it.  Try Justin 
Corwin.
