Is anybody else in limbo becoming progressively more insane as the days go by? Last year I was flat-out rejected so I was not expecting very much this year. However, now that I know that I have a shot at an award, however small, I find myself fantasizing about how great it would be to win it. I feel like Icarus -- the closer I get to the sun the faster my wings are going to melt and the harder that crash is going to be! Yet the temptation is too great to resist.

I am also in limbo and just sent an email to my congresspeople to urge them to give NSF the money they've requested. It takes about five minutes. Go to Congress.org and enter your address. You can email all your reps simultaneously. It is satisfying.
