Hi Jim:

   No, unfortunately I can't attend this one. We just arrived in
Mayaguez and I have to teach a class next week. Just being here
adjusting to the new situation is keeping me and my family very busy. 
I'll probably need at least another two weeks before I can sit down at
my desk again and think about research and SEEK.

Cheers,

Nico
