Seems ok, Edward, but as an eternal student, my favorite into to the art was by our geology professor, Giegengack, telling us stories of notorious and hilarious failures, mostly by the Army Corps of Engineers. The second most interesting presentation was Sir Peter Shepherds slide shows on design details, aboslutely magical presentations full of fascinating true-life stories. So your presentation, for my book, lacks a sense of humor, and sets a sort of overly wondering and fantastical tone. Real life details and laughing are what always grabbed me. Students are a cynical lot, as far as I know.

I hear you, Trace One…when I went to school, the stuff they presented about project process, project management, construction management was the driest, least interesting.

When I actually starting doing that work, I found it dynamic and challenging. It is that part of our work upon which I focus The 23 Club story.

…oh, and there is some humor…it emerges here and there to keep it light. It is like building a major project in a foreign country with foreign rules. You need the laughs just to get by! That’s life. 🙂
