Cool.
I was bringing my assistant with me, a great student named Pennie Allsop who does incredible gum prints though she'd never feel that way, but it didn't work. I have never met Kevin but he emailed and volunteered.  I assume he will be the one, but I know they go through a selection process first so perhaps Christina will be it.  Oh no, two Christinas in one room...

Since I am already off topic I wanted to offer concern to those in Iceland and Europe who are unable to travel because of the ash.  My sister has been stuck in London for 4 days now (wouldn't that just be tough I say with sarcasm).  I actually have an Icelandic student believe it or not..
