I got two great e-mails this evening, both pertaining to work. One is an invitation to speak at the Continental Kennel Club’s Breeders Seminar. The invitation mentions paid expenses and an honorarium, but I’ve got to check my calendar (the dates are pretty close to Misty’s due date) and talk to the ethics officer to see what I can and cannot accept. If I decide to go, maybe Rich and Rachel can put me up. More details as they are available.
The other e-mail was the decision letter about one of my manuscripts that’s been in review for something like ten years (all figures are approximate):
Experts in the field have carefully reviewed your manuscript and I am happy to report that they recommended only minor revisions of your paper before it can be accepted for publication.
How cool is that? Maybe the wait was worth it!
