Re: Homework

I regret to report that due to an extremely full
calendar these past two weeks (my new car broke down,
I've been trying to maintain my tan, and I have had
to prepare for an outrageous Super Bowl party-you're
invited!), I will not be handing in assignment #1 on
time. I am sure that you appreciate the pressure I 
have been under, and, since you have nothing to do but
sit in your office anyway, I feel certain that you will
accept my assignment whenever I get around to handing 
it in.  If there is any problem, please leave a message
on my answering machine.

Ciao, Dan
