Hi Gabi - well, one for two isn't that bad. It is 
sad, however, that the J. Clim paper might not be 
out in time. Keep your fingers crossed and do 
everything fast! And, keep us (especially Keith) 
informed. Sounds like he should take it out of 
the fig for now, but be ready to redo if they 
become in press fast enough.

We're doing ok - it is exhausting, but we have 
have some heroic LAs - like Keith (and CA's like 
Tim Osborn), so that's a huge help. Glad you saw 
something off NZ. I'm sorry I went all the way 
there for some mostly cloudy sky inbetween 
meeting buildings. C'est la vie - those are 
pretty hard core meetings!

Best, Peck
