OK. Thinking seriously now, and not dissing Squeaky McMurdo's really generous offer. We need to make definite plans some time soon. I will talk with Steve, Matt, and Kevin and see what their constraints and wishes are.

My big issue at the moment is that I'm supposed to teach a 3 week geology field course in Iceland starting at the end of June. The plans are on hold right now, for obvious reasons, but we haven't decided yet whether we'll postpone for a year or not. It's also possible that I might go to Iceland for a couple weeks to do my own research instead (much lower stakes in terms of the unexpected). But I just don't know yet.

So - let me have a pow-wow with the guys and see what their level of commitment and interest is and what their schedules are.
