Re: Friday 22 February?

i think the idea is pie in the sky

Hi JEE...

I gather that you talked to Ben Nelson on Saturday. He just sent me a note, saying that he would like to get together with the two of us when he and I will be in NYC. I would like to see you, in any case (maybe I could see you for an hour or so and then he could join us?). Are you around on Friday 22 February? As of now, my entire day is free .. when would be good?

Be well.

Me too. I think it has almost no chance of succeeding. BUT it provides a way for me to get Robin out of California. Here's the plan: We will know in 18 months, max, whether Minerva will get to the next step. Ben has to raise 33M more by then. If he can't, then we have 8 mo of salary left. At that point I will contact the Harvard folks and ask whether they are looking for a House Master (they almost always are), and if they aren't, we will be "Resident Tutors" (who get free room and board for living in a House and hanging out with the students). If either option works (which is a very, very high Pr), we will move back to Cambridge. We will sell the house here and walk away with a good profit... and have enough to buy a small place in NYC. We will then spend 3 or 4 days a week in NYC and the rest in Cambridge.

That's my plan, which I think is very likely to work. Sound reasonable?

Thanks,
