Going Camping, Reviewing Another Paper and Giving Up

Tomorrow I leave for a long weekend of camping with two former grad students, one of whom lives in Minnesota. The other student and I bought tickets for Minnesota and then we started planning the trip. This is not the best way to do things as several of our initial plans were shot down when we learned that the desired destinations are completely frozen in. We ended up deciding on a state park. I probably wouldn't have flown to go on a camping trip in a state park. But the tickets have been purchased, and at least I like the guys I'll be hanging out with. 

Contrary to my earlier proclamations, I got roped into helping review another paper. This time I spent two hours on the review process. I am not the official reviewer, the official reviewer just wanted a second opinion. I read the paper and offered just that. 

Finally, I've decided that I'm going to write up what I have and call it good.  I think there are better results around the corner, but I've felt this way for a while, and I don't think anyone will really appreciate the better results as opposed to the ones I have now.
