JPL trip, yesterday... alarm didn't go off, so I was woken by the limo driver at 5:30am. I threw on my clothes and fled... leaving my cellphone, but I didn't really need it. The project reviews were fine, I poked holes in two ill-thought-out efforts. And I was invited to put in a proposal to work with one of the participants on drilling automation and controls.

Today... telecon with Pascal. Budgetary things, nagging about my paper, but updated Ar-testing that shows that Haughton Crater is actually almost twice as old as we'd thought before. And we might put a telescope there to search over the winter for extrasolar planets, and be useful in a total solar eclipse there in early August 2006. And the company that makes IMAX films ("Everest", etc) is coming up next summer....

Questions from one of your favorite high school drop-outs:

1) what is Ar-testing?
2) are extrasolar planets ones that orbit a different star?
3) IMAX Devon Island? I think I might get to see more than the inside of a tent, eh?
