Hero shot

Some of us are leaving Thursday; we suddenly realized we needed a group shot before we started to scatter to the 4 corners of the Earth.  Here is the CREST Ice Team:

And here is a pretty good photo Stephane took of me in Scott's Hut:

The instrument continues to play with our heads.  Today it played Whack-A-Mole with noisy phototubes (they kept popping up in different places for no reason), and then after a complete run-down of the battery test one of the data disks caused the flight computer to hang during boot -- a bad thing that kept some of our heroes out at the hanger until the late late shuttle at 8:30, missing dinner.

Currently I am scheduled to depart here Monday, leave Christchurch Tuesday morning at 6AM, then something like 30 hours later arrive in Cincinnati.
