Hi Ray, I'm sorry but I will have to miss the meeting today since a meeting between the old and new teaching heads of the Dept has popped up to discuss the TA assignments for fall semester, and I have to be at it. I apologize for this last minute note, but the meeting was set up late yesterday and confirmed this morning.
