LISA & Fire?

Hello all,

I'm writing from LISA03 to let everyone know that the Conference is on 
as as scheduled.  Yes, the smoke is pretty thick outside but inside is 
fine.  I have bad asthma myself and I'm doing okay.

On a personal note to San Diego locals; please accept my concern and 
hope for a fast end to the fires.
