[Palindrome] Another Stuffage Update and more



Hey...cold enough for ya!  Seriously though, the weather seems like
it's going to be pretty cold for Hunt weekend, I hope it doesn't
snow (having made THE DRIVE through snow on 3 occasions.)

On that note, is there anyone from this general area (Long Island,
metro NYC) that might want to ride along with me from LI to MIT
(actually Eric's house) on Thursday afternoon?  I'm planning on
leaving this area around 2:45 PM-ish, though that's a (little)
adjustable.  I'll be coming back here on Monday (either before
or after the wrap-up, depending on when it is.)  If you're
interested, please let me know by Tuesday the latest.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

(Sorry, just remembered Mary Chung's)

Anyway, the latest updates on the who, what, and when follow.

See you this weekend!
