This summer I'll be studying the mating habits of the Peruvian Wombat on

Try my sister, the editor in chief of _Wombat Monthly_. Also, a friend of
mine has done extensive research on the Uruguaian Wombat that may be of
interest to you.

Carrie! I saw your post and couldn't resist replying. Well, we finally got
the whipped cream stains out of the carpet, but I never did find my handcuffs.
Next time I host a nude casino night, Mike is _not_ doing cannonballs into
the punchbowl. The raw egg hangover cure actually worked; who knew? Come
by sometime and see my photos.

I'd like to point out that some of the discussion on this list is off-topic.
If I wanted to read about nude Princetonians, I'd look in the New York Times.

Dear Tigers:
Thank you for the insights. I feel I've gotten a taste of the working world
already.
I was beginning to wax nostalgic about the end of my Princeton career --
it's comforting to know that precept-style wrangling never really ends.
