Yeah, I'm here, lurking.
I would love to come out to the left coast to see you guys but I'm so buried that you'll probably find me here on Christmas and New Years Day (and tomorrow, too).

Not to mention, Doug is definitely the best candidate for the trip.
Peter will have to make the call. We are all buried with work and missing a key player will make us even further behind.. It's a tough choice, and Doug has to agree too...
