Currently the paper has 3 results:

• confirming the rotation period bimodality using the latest distances
• showing first attempt at tracing the bimodality/period structure as a function of distance
• showing width of main sequence with period gradient

and is drafted with 5 figures (the maximum for ApJL). Should we push forward with a short letter in the next week(s)? That is my preference - thoughts @kevincovey?

• get updated match (1 arcsecond) from @megbedell
• use bailer-jones2018 distances
• use new isochrones? e.g. change metallicity? The default Padova isochrone doesn't fit CMD very well... @kevincovey maybe has thoughts here?
• use different gyrochronology prescription? The Meibom+2009 doesn't look great...
