Here is a picture of our conference group, from a dinner at TNC'98
in Dresden (minus Lisa, who was taking the picture). Connie is right
under the big question mark I took the liberty of adding for your
convenience ;-)

My response:

Thanks Eric,
But now I'm a little confused.  The only thing "under the big question mark"
in the pix is two empty champagne glasses.  Is this some subtle metaphorical
reference to Connie?

Now there does appear to be a person *behind* the question mark -- and
amazingly, almost all of her fits behind it, too.  This thinness makes sense
since her plate looks still full, while everyone else's are empty.  Thin is
fine with me (but do I admit I just love a women with a well developed,
voluptuous pair of frontal lobes.*)

But given all that obvious talent sitting around the table, I'm just amazed
you guys haven't been snapped up by Bill Gates, yet.  Maybe you told him
"under" when you meant "behind", too when he last examined your P&L sheet?

Anyway, it's only fair that I share something about my physical appearance,
too.  You know that movie star Brad Pitt?  I don't look anything like him.

Love, lenny
