Johanna, 
Sorry I wasn't around this weekend.  Not exactly a prosperous start for
this new relationship.  Still, I feel it has promise.  As I said I had 
to work over time to get some of this curriculum planned.  I'm beginning
with a little Faulkner which I'm sure will win your approval.  Honestly,
I'd rather teach Hemmingway.  Faulkner vs. Hemmingway is like a face off
between hyper-complexity and simplicity.  Still, I trust your judgment.
We're reading Light in August as you suggested.  I think this class on
twentieth century writers will be a good one.  I'll definitely toss in 
some Hemmingway at some point and, of course, Fitzgerald.  Anyway, I
miss you over here.  Tell Meagan hi.  I'll probably try to get over there
by mid-week.  And, Johanna, you've changed some of my biggest paradigms.
That's unprecedented and greatly appreciated.  I'll see you soon.

Finn
