    Hi Bob,
    
    You're back! Hallelujah!  That first night of yours (Nov 1 I think) was 
    *tremendously* useful in establishing the slope of the light curve... 
    and provided an excellent calibration with Tom's data.  I really look 
    forward to seeing how this star is going to play out!  And despite the 
    amazingly low likelihood of a lensing event for such a nearby star (1 
    kpc), it sure does look like one so far.  We'll post the light curve 
    Monday.
