Maybe Tom saw the feature.  Maybe he saw the link to my research site.  I wonder if he clicked on it?  If he did, I wonder what he thought about my research.  Will he call me later this week and discuss wanting to make online shopping an integral part of his next book?  Should I call him Tom or Tommy?  After all, we shared time and space together on the Boston University homepage.  My MIL (mother in law) will love this as she is an avid reader and former editor in chief of a magazine.

Congratulations to all of my students at Boston University.  I loved every minute we spent together this semester and I am very proud of all of you; you done good.
