I'll reply off-list re this, as I have a couple questions that won't 
interest anyone else...

Vegan (or more specifically, vegetarian who doesn't eat cow's milk or 
eggs; i.o.w.: almost-vegan but has a weakness for goat cheese ;-) ). 
Call me vegan for the sake of catering.

I don't drink coffee. Vegan trail mix sounds good. :-)

I'm always in favour of getting up and leaving the building for lunch. A 
change of scene is important for recharging batteries, unwinding from 
intense discussions, and digesting healthily. (Especially for this of us 
with jetlag...)

Sounds great to me!

Will we also get to play with your departmental WiiFit in breaks? ;-)
