From my inbox

Shall I frame this? When will I ever be so addressed again?

Dear President Hacking,

2011 ADE-ADFL Joint Seminar Midwest, hosted by Northwestern University, will take place 9–12 June. The ADE/ADFL will sponsor the cost of your transportation to the seminar. The MLA/ADE/ADFL strongly prefers that all association-sponsored air travel arrangements be made via our contracted agent, MacNair Travel Management, since reserving your tickets through our agent will result in significantly lower fees for the association.

Zoe

While I was away in Canada Craig put Zoe to sleep. It has been really strange to come home and not have her black shaggy presence in the house. Apparently she had missed a couple of meals and was moaning at night in her sleep from pain. She also fell more drastically coming down the stairs so he decided that it was time. She was around 16 years old which is no small feat for a dog. The vet came and put her to sleep and then took her away for cremation. I must admit that I cried when he described the whole thing to me.
