Prof. Stoichu--
I enjoyed the talk today, though most of it went over my head. One
thing I never understood about set measures--how can an infinite set
have measure zero?

Thanks for all the help getting me settled with all of this, Bill. Any

Glad to here you've settled things with the Amherst DS, and glad to know
I was able to be of assistance. Again, I'm sorry things turned out the
way they did, and we still don't know why our budget ended up coming up
so short--we're going to have to take a look at that over the summer.
Good luck in the Pioneer Valley.

Hey, I know you're probably busy this time of year (so are we all), but
there's something puzzling me around here, and I wondered if you might
know something about it. When would be a good time this week to call?

Well, if you feel that way about it, I'll email you from my other
account later today. (It gets everything I get here anyway.) Do you
have some other account you want to use?

Hi there, Lisa. Can I stop by to chat with you about something next
week? It's just an odd little quirk. When are you free?

That's very generous of you! Had I mentioned that they'd been upset
that we'd gotten up here just as everything melted? I can't go, of
course--business here--but they said they'd love to. (I think I'm the
only one of us to have ever even been to Maine.) It's a little sudden,
but you only live once, right? Anyway, thanks a lot--they'll meet you
after dinner to drive up.

Subject: Paint
Well, it got the campus riled up. Don't worry--even though there's
still a lot of pressure to maintain the existing system, it's becoming
more and more unpopular, and I suspect that if we keep this up a little
longer I'll be able to play peacemaker and get the whole thing replaced
within a year or two. A shame, though--this stuff is harder to get off
than I'd thought. Ah well--that's what you get for going through with
these little hairbrained schemes.

Subject: Ninepins Lane
So here's what's been puzzling me. One of the little perks I've enjoyed
about the residence is the ninepines lane downstairs--nobody else in the
family has any interest, but it makes me feel like more of a New
Englander. Anyway, while I was bowling last week I walked down the lane
to fix up one of the pins, then tripped and fell into the back of the
lane. But when I hit the back wall, instead of just giving me a bruise,
it gave way, and suddenly I could see this whole secret alcove behind
the lane. And in there were a bunch of paintings, probably twenty or
so--landscapes. I couldn't really make anything out about them--not my
field--but they look sort of like some of the paintings in the first
couple rooms at the Clark. (Corot?)
Anyway, I haven't told anyone else about this yet. Did you know about
this? Do you have any idea what's going on?

Sure, I'd like to get this cleared up as soon as possible. How early?

The inbox was not, in this case, empty, but all the messages in there
were delivery failure notices for the messages we've already seen.
