Great to read your news and get your new address and phone. (Also
reassuring to know that snailmail forwarding actually works.) Sorry Vicki
can't come (congrats to her!), but I'm looking forward to discussing your
themes, the scholarly/teaching life, etc. with you.

Hello!

We received your invitation to the Holiday Open House.  Reminded us that we
haven't given you our new address and phone numbers.  They are below.

We moved to West Seattle in August-September and are now basically moved
in.
It is around the corner from Vicki's pottery studio - she is the Artist in
Residence at the Pottery School of West Seattle!

That means we both get to walk to work.  I have an office/lab in the
basement, Vicki has her studio and also a nice study that we created for
her
in the second bedroom of our small and perfect rented house.

My lab is really a lab now.  I finally nerved myself up and networked our
computers together.  I am now awaiting the ADSL modem for the shared
broadband connection.  My laptop is not connected yet, though I have
everything to do it with.

I talked to Bill Anderson on Friday.  I visited with Bill and Susan in Rye,
NY, when I was in New York City this past April, also.

Bill and I have been discussing the recurring CS themes that come up for
us,
and we are looking for a complementary area where we might take on a
project
together.  I am going to post something about themes on my web site.   I
want to consult you about that and bounce my themes off of you too.  I have
been putting off getting in touch about it until I had more ready (sigh).
One area I want to look at is taking on more of life as a scholar-teacher
and thought you could give me some pointers.

[I don't really want to teach Java programming, but what the hell, if that
is what it takes to have an entry to the local CS-academic community, I
guess it will be character-building!]

Vicki is going to be busy on the 15th, but I will come by.

Regards and best wishes,

-- Dennis
