"Unfortunately we'll be out of the SF Bay Area between July 26 and Aug. 10 (visiting parents in CT), so any party plans will have to be made on somewhat short notice. In any case you ought to be able to drive over the hill to San Jose on Wednesday, which is Grand Central Starport's weekly open house, and well-attended by Callahans folk.

He looks even fuzzier than usual, being rather tired and about a month behind on the Net. He puts a dollar on the bar. "Genever, Mike; make it a double." Mike pours some greenish liquid from a red ceramic bottle and adds a twist of lemon. "How was the vacation?" "Great--went to Connecticut and New York and Maine and ate lots of lobster. Then we came back and I got *very* busy trying to start a new Computing Resources group. And today we found out that our jobs go away on October 15. Actually, they say they *might* keep a few people around to do 'research', but anyone who would stay and take a 25% pay cut instead of their severence package would have to be pretty desperate. I get the feeling they're hoping everyone will leave, which is exactly what I expect to happen. "So I'm job hunting. I'm looking for something in the SF Bay Area, preferably CS research or advanced development, object-oriented, all that good stuff. Wish me luck." He goes over to the bulletin board and posts three sheets of paper. "The last page is sort of optional--it lists my current research interests and informal publications, like the net. "Oh, yes--my email address will stay good for a month and a half unless I find a new job sooner, but I'll be getting an account on some public access system pretty soon." He goes over to table 28X, picks up Snuggles (his guitar), and starts noodling. People who have heard it before quickly recognize a song called "Mushrooms". \ --Steve Savitzky-- \ Grand Central Starport \ REAL hackers use an AXE! \ steve@advansoft.COM \ 343 Leigh Avenue \ #include \ arc!steve@apple.COM \ San Jose, CA 95128 \ h:408-294-6492 w:727-3357 \__ steve@arc.UUCP _________________________________________________________ ----------------------------- cut here ---------------------------------- R E S U M E STEPHEN R.
