Well, i am glad you survived in any event!
Thanks! It went quite well; answered all my visitor's questions, studied the issues she presented (and some were difficult ones!), and got directions established for advancing her work further. Being the "expert" can be fun (or at least it feels good when you can help others out) sometimes.
But it ate up a day I wanted for a document I'm preparing for one of my committees. I didn't worry too much, because I still had two more days. Then this afternoon they called a teleconference for Wednesday morning -- and early, because our participants are spread from Seattle to Stuttgart. Now I have to finish the whole blasted thing tomorrow so we can discuss it -- and I just hope I'll be in the right frame of mind to tackle the material.
Don't think I'll be around much.
