Wait a minute.  Wasn't he the same guy who was writing about the modern
file system protocols like AFS fixing up concurrency control problems?

I think I see a pattern here -:)

I'm going to call him up right now!  I'm having a wild Sat. night
working on mail.

He's not even there!  He's probably down at the Blind Big listening to
the Urbations.  I should be at the Ark listening to Wynton Marsalis's
2nd show which is starting right about now.

Jim, when you buy me that lunch you owe me we can discuss all this and
summarize for the list.

You should know I don't work Saturday night when the Urbations are in town.
They played all their big hits, including my favorite, "Going To Alpena
(Cement Capital Of The World)."  It was a rollicking good time.

It completely slipped my mind that I owe you a lunch.  If Tyson (my favorite
Apollo sales rep) was still around, we could get him to treat us at the Full
Moon.  As it is, we'll have to boondoggle out to Chelmsford and get some
Apollo guys to treat us to Blimpy Clubs in the Embers Room at Skip's (isn't
that where your boss is at this very moment?)

Sorry, that should be "Wimpy Clubs."  Reckon I've been in Ann Arbor too
long.  Blimpys are Better Than Food; I don't know what Wimpys are better
than.
