Hey Wise haven't seen you around in a while. How have you been? I'm not sure about the whole laptop business either... but i guess i'm gonna get a good one and just have a dock station at home so I won't get a desktop.

They have a budget for it in the financial thing they gave us during the interview, so I think we might need to get one.

I don't know, apparently this a not a huge need for a computer. I was told there are plenty of computers that we could use on campus and that we don't really have a need for computers at home, but I could be wrong. I am probably going to wait till orientation to hear what they have to say. has anybody heard any thing else from stony, I know things have been slow because of the terrible death of the dean's husband.

The death of the dean's husband is tragic indeed.

Can't wait till orientation or some word...

 

[lealf-ye]

That's terrible. So sad, which dean?

Dr. Riley.

On top of that she recently had a baby.

 

[Jack Worthing]

their baby is less than a year old.

The husband of Dr. Riley was a Stony Brook dental school alumnus and a Harvard-trained periodontist (they met as post-grads at Harvard; she was in pedo, he was in perio). I guess that means his name is "Dr. Riley" also. Spooky...
