Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2003 From: Mark Risman Subject: dogs?Hi, I was looking for a dog walker in Hoboken, and my Google search produced a hit on your website (since you list "dog walker" as one of your future interests). Was wondering if you know of anyone that walks dogs in Hoboken? Also was curious to ask you since we went to HS together (including Russia/Germany for a week and a half). - Mark
Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2002 From: Marnie Alexis Friedman Subject: your website hi there, I found your webpage in a google search for "cool + actuary." I'm studying for SOA 8F at the moment, so it was a good means of procrastination... ;) Just wanted to say hello and that I enjoyed your ramblings and the beginnings of the proof for how to pick a suitor. I've got the first part down (i.e., I turned down the first serious prospect), but perhaps in my case n=1, as there have been no more very serious prospects since then...nearly 5 years. And I was a tad too tired to reason out the rest of the proof, though I can see where it's going...but of course I have the wrong Larsen & Marx (I have Intro to Mathematical Statistics and its Applications, which oddly enough was the text for my probability course in college). anyway - good luck with your studying, I hope it goes well. -Marnie "i work in insurance. i have powers you can't begin to comprehend."

Date: Thu, 17 Apr 1997 From: John Jeremy Bergeron Lost in another world, oh Saturn, Saturn Girl Far away, to an infinite road I escape I'm clear and calm, I'm unafraid. Sunless days, in my sheltered four door sedan In Saturn's seats I feel no pain. In my heart, in my head Oh the Saturn Girl has always lead No you're not, from this state Saturn Girl I can't explain, why I don't belong to the same state I don't fit in, and I will not stay. I want to drive, oh how I long for my open road My dashboard lights, my peace of mind. Lost on the open road, oh Saturn, oh Saturn Girl. Saturn Girl, I'd rather be lost on the lonesome highway Than have my feet on the ground. Everybody tries to run me off the road to make me stop, They don't understand my passion, they can't understand my car. "Oh your lost on another road. Oh you're lost you Saturn Girl, oh you crazy girl, Oh you Saturn Girl"... "A different kind of Girl, A different kind of Homepage" -New York Times
Date: Thu, 17 Apr 1997 From: Bruce Bagnoli Your response to Los Alamos is quite normal, for an outsider. As a former LBL/DOE workerBee, I too spent some time on the mesa's. Your formulation of the mate-selection problem fails to include the boundry conditions! ( typical young person's approach). I'm now at CalStateHayward, continuing my work/study ( in my 40's). Found your ramblings an amusing way to munch through Lunch. Keep writing. Your taste in poetry leans a bit toward the awkward, though you finished the page with some nice work.
Date: Wed, 16 Apr 1997 From: Dave Wolfson Travel Modeler, informal, personal, and often oblivious to negative feedback enjoyed browsing your web-page!
Date: Mon, 14 Apr 1997 From: Kumar Vemaganti I am an avid reader of your ramblings. Keep up the good work and the scorn for non-New-Yorkish things :-) And have you heard this : Hell hath no fury or a homepage like a New-York-lady-in-a-Saturn-asked-to-slow-down.
Date: Wed, 26 Mar 1997 From: Austin Cooke Most of the UofT homepages are, to quote Fran Slingerland, dead boring. Yours was more readable than most, although it definitely discourages me from being a pedestrian in Texas... I will leave my bike behind. An Irish doctor fiend of mine said there was a good swimming spot in Austin, which she quite liked. I can enquire if you like..regards from Frozen Wastes of the Ottawa Valley.
Date: Thu, 6 Mar 1997 From: Michael Ryder Well, the first thing I found was "Last updated February 25, 1997" which of course made me excited to visit your web page cuz I found a speeling erorr. Of course, you make it so fun to find the exact thing that you changed, so I searched your entire site and found the fun rambling post you put up, which made no mention of ME, damnit. Oh well, maybe I've already had my 5 minutes of fame. Anyways, Jennifer needs to put up a photo of herself. And you do to, even though you've got one with Rebecca -- you should have your face plastered on the front. Blown up and surreal-like. Well, it's too late for this much fun.
Date: Tue, 4 Mar 1997 From: Jennifer McDonald Your web page is the coolest. Seriously. It was blatently entertaining and simultaneously inspiring. I'm quite impressed-- it is indeed a Personal Web Page, with organization to boot! I found it to be very interesting, except I couldnt' find my name (do they all say that?)
Date: Tue, 4 Mar 1997 From: Michael Ryder Your page is stagnant. Put something new on it. Maybe just tease everyone and make it LOOK like there's something new by changing the date on the "Last Updated..."
Date: Fri, 07 Feb 1997 From: Robert Shumskis Kind of plain, if you don't mind my saying. So I checked out the other one. So far I've only filed through some of your pics (with Courtney, the roommates, and the car) and you look differently than I thought you might. Actually, I thought of someone more like Courtney with black hair, glasses, etc. Don't really know why though. By the way, I hope you're bugs have stayed away tonight, yech.
Date: Sat, 03 Feb 1996 14:37:32 -0500 From: Afriend I am writing to you with great enthusiasm. I just finished reading your web pages. You are brilliant! You have inspired me. You may take credit for inspiring me to the actions which I take over the next few days.
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 1997 From: Michael Ryder "The prevailing attitude in my mind while driving is that of superiority. I assume all other drivers are morons."... Hmmm. That's ok, I assume all Saturns are owned by obnoxious students, and try to run them off the road whenever possible.
Date: Sat, 25 Jan 1997 From: Stampafl@aol.com i loved reading your homepage your writing is great. I love the part when you talk about flooring the gas pedal in your Saturn and getting yelled out by the pedestrians i hope you write more about what goes through your mind when you are driving your car.
Date: Wed, 22 Jan 1997 From: Greg Smith ...I did enjoy your ramblings; as someone who picked up more than a small portion of the New York attitude (and a lot of the driving style), my subsequent return to living in Baltimore has been very tense at times. I suspect it's not quite as bad as Los Alamos or Texas, but I do get a regular collection of screams from the passengers in my car. Happily, I usually am passing by people too fast to see how many of them are turning white with fear or giving me the finger as I rush by. ...Thanks for all the laughs, especially because of the link to the Loser page--I almost wet myself, I was laughing so hard at that one.
