Proposal thumbs-up

I just heard that a quickie proposal last month was selected for funding by NASA Headquarters! The strange thing was that it was the "toss-off" proposal, the one I expected to be rejected (and wrote while half-asleep, almost in stream-of-consciousness). The other, carefully-edited proposal was rejected instead.

Hmmm... more use of active voice?

And my Australian collaborator in my geophysics research sent me his figures, so my poster will be set for next week's Lunar and Planetary Sciences conference in Houston (yay!). And I have my travel reservations for next week, with a return connection through Minnneapolis :-).
