Minor bumps

[jay]

I fell down 5 times tonight while ice skating -- a notable lack of coordination, as I wasn't trying anything difficult. And I fumbled around a bit this evening while chatting with geekchick.

Earlier today, I heard that another Mars drilling development proposal has been selected, this one going to test in Spain. I'll have some small R&D work coming over from it, it appears...

And earlier today sinboy and I went up to the SF City Clinic to pick up our test results, accompanied by hopeforyou and patgreene. We had lunch together afterward... I'm happy to report that all of my results are negative :-).

If for any reason you happen to need a research assistant in Spain, I'm your man. Er, girl. Er, whatever. I could *gasp* actually use my degree for the first time in 10 years! ;)

Alas, I am none of those things. (No wisecracks, please.)

Ouch on the bumps!
Glad to hear all the results are clear.
Will you get to go to Spain?

Spain? Possibly... the PI is planning to hold the project kickoff meeting there in mid-January, as well as the later drilling. If my dept. is willing to cough up the travel funds...
