I had the opportunity to meet Deepspringer at his house in Maine on a beautiful afternoon over the summer.  When you get to meet him, he - and his wife - are fantastic people.  That being said, I think you can be sure that Deep is busy on a number of projects.  "Hopefully" this is one project at the top of the list.   We are all looking forward to getting to Russia, and after watching Dr. Zhivago, I even more so.
