Sept 20-22: this is to DCI, and if I can, I should go, but I could also work by telephone Sept 25-30: this is for a nonDCI meeting in Nashville which I think I will skip, followed by a stop in Konnarock, which is not necessary. I plan to cancel this trip. Oct 9-10: to Florida to give a talk. I can drop out of this at the last minute. Oct 21-25: DCI Annual Meeting. I could miss it. Nov 2-8: nephrology meetings in San Diego. I am giving a talk on the 3d and I have a meeting on 8th, and I have another talk in the middle. I could cancel everything.
