OK, how about this. For me, the PTG convention is by far the most important 
event every year. I plan everything around it. I don't plan to change jobs or 
move again, at least not until I am ready for a nursing home. The PTG 
convention is chiseled is stone. Nothing else will make me miss it, except an 
emergency, like my wife or one of my sons dying. If my unmarried son decided 
to have his wedding during that week, I would try like hell to get him to 
change it. By the same token, he knows me well enough that he wouldn't even 
plan his wedding at that time, because he knows how important the convention 
is for me. 

The convention is much more than a learning experience. For me it has become 
about 75% social and 25% educational. The education I gain is enough to 
justify the expense. And you can't put a price tag on being with your 
friends, and making new ones. Just think, without PTG, I wouldn't have gotten 
to know you. That's worth the price of admission all by itself. :)

Have I rephrased that enough?
