I'm out the door

As I post this I'm late for a drive to Raleigh, NC to participate in the .5 part of the 1.5 day Triangle Resource and Environmental Economics Workshop tomorrow morning. I missed a bunch of great papers today, all co-authored by Triangle-esque authors. Tomorrow is focused on climate and I'm giving the first of three research presentations (my presentation can be found at http://econ.appstate.edu/climate in the right hand column), followed by a panel discussion (see below).

It should be way fun. The rest of the day includes lunch, a UNC-TV appearance with my co-authors (I'm doing it topless), dinner with friends (again, topless) and a drive back to Boone.
