more walks

Wednesday... Kevin's triennial IEP. He's making excellent progress, and needs help mostly in catching up in reading and decoding skills. Grades are above average for his class, and he's in the gifted-kids program... not bad for the first half-year out of special ed.

Then a air traffic pitch to program management... no decision until early April. But my first marsh walk with Jen in months, afterward.

Then skating practice! I learned some new things: half-lutz jump, backwards pivot. Followed by a run across the bay to the end of Sunset and Port.

Thursday... performance review interviews with our interns, lunch with [personal profile] hopeforyou. Holding a sweet newborn baby. And then a date tonight with [personal profile] tenacious_snail... (smile).

good news, bad news

good news... in negotiations with the Army CRREL for a lunar regolith drill automation task, my budget was reduced, but only from $1.27M --> $1.15M over 4 years. Not nearly as bad as I'd braced-for.

bad news... the wonderfully competent folks at our in-house travel agency never sent me my travel itinerary for next week -- because they accidentally cancelled it. I have to rebook everything for Houston on Monday in the next 2 hours. Sigh...
