Suzanne,

I just re-read my e-mail to you from a few days ago--and realized that I
didn't really say that I would be interested in talking to you more about
this, unless you've already hired someone.  I'll be in transit this
afternoon, to Boston, and will be back here Monday afternoon.

Have a good weekend!

Martha
