Will,

Slowly coming out from under everything.
All my hiring chairs (both for a chair and for the department are over)
My FAC (Faculty of Affairs Committee) chair responsibilities seem to be
over.
   That's where we are an arm to the chair and amongst other things,
evaluate
   every colleague and basically rank order everyone.  It is exhausting,
especially when
   I am also reading every single hiring file for both the chair slot and
the general hiring slot.
   Mary has been wondering if I will every come back to Earth.  I am
pleased to announce, I am.
My mom's 100th Birthday Party preparations for one week from this Friday
(Don't forget that
   today is Mother's day; say hi to your mom)
until the Sunday night will be over.   I have a boat load of travel lined
up, however.

Starting mid-June,
A naming in Chicago
A trip to Vienna (for Mary's relaxation) and to The Czech Republic (for
"Curry On")
from June 28 until the 10th of July
a wedding in LA from July 30 until August 3rd
ICFP and Scheme Workshop early September
Possibly going to Strange Loop, but probably not this year, still
contemplating it.
A wedding in Denver in mid-October
A trip to Sweden early-November
I don't know where POPL is, but I am likely to go.

That's my itinerary.

Now, I have decided that I am perfectly happy trying to finish the 2nd
edition of TRS,
but I can't do it with your approach.  I am sure that you are right about
everything, but
the approach doesn't work for me.  We can talk more about it.

Also, I had a chance recently to reread your submission to ICFP.  It is
quite good and quite
a cogent argument for putting in the layer of indirection.  I haven't
worked through all the code,
but I am rather impressed at how very clever the paper is.  Things like
Futamura Projections and
John Reynolds "Definitional Interpreters" deserves a nod (In this paper,
you don't need to
actually read any of the code, just read the words.)  It has appeared in
HOSC.

It is good to have finally landed.  Today, we are taking the "younger
family" to Sunny Palace, under
new ownership (quite good, now) at noon.  That will be followed by taking
Chinese Food to see the
greats, and on the way, picking up Lola, I hope to be home in time for your
show, but I will enter when
I do.
