Everyone is waiting are still Alive then get back on Time

Hi Stephen, Thanks so much for checking in — I actually just got off the phone with my brother in Houston, and he said I’ve been missed at the office. I swear, it’s funny how the heat here in Texas feels like it’s testing the limits of the old oil rigs — I was walking past the 3rd Street gas station the other day and saw a sign that said “Still running, still burning.” Made me think of you and how we’ve both been through a lot of silence lately. I’m sorry I missed your message — I’ve been swamped with a few new cases involving pipeline disputes, and my calendar got a little chaotic. I’m not sure what the best way to move forward is, so I wanted to ask: are you still connected with the group that’s been working on the time-sensitive reports? I noticed in the last email you mentioned “everyone is waiting” — could you clarify what the timeline is for the next update? Also, is there a specific deadline we need to hit before things get pushed back? And just so I’m fully on board — do you have any idea who else is involved in this? I’d love to be part of it, especially if it’s something that could help with the broader community effort. I’m truly glad you reached out — it means a lot.
