Hi again, all.

Well, I hate to say it, but I'm not sure I'll be on today's cross-country 
blind ops net again.

The XYL and I are getting ready for a trip to Puerto Rico later this  week. 
The trip is work-related, in that I will be running a weather and society 
integrated Studies workshop there, which has been planned over the past 8 or 
9 months.
We  leave this coming Wednesday, and won't be back till Saturday: June 12th.

In addition to running some errands associated with trip preparations, we 
simply feel the need to get out and enjoy the day, even if it involves 
something like taking a brief hike in the Colorado foothills.  So, I guess 
the day's activities will be a combination of work and a little pleasure.

I really feel bad about my reduced involvement in the nets lately.  Please 
don't take it as a lack of interest or anything like that.

As I think you all know, my life has become rather chaotic lately, due to 
uncertainties over the future of my job beyond July, and the possibility of 
our having to move back to Michigan.

Actually, there is a bit of encouragement on the job front, in that a new 
funding opportunity may be emerging for me, but I am not sure of all the 
details yet, or whether something will be able to be worked out quickly 
enough.

I guess what I'm trying to say in all of this is thanks everyone for hanging 
in there with me.

I know that things are going to work out somehow in time, after which my 
life will stabilize again, hopefully here in Colorado, but also maybe back 
in Michigan as a second resort.
