alumni libations?

the following email conversation took place today between my alumni relations co-director and me, and it gave me a much-needed laugh:

rick: ann-marie - nice job in pulling [this event] together.

ann-marie: thanks. i should be more proactive in affirming you, too, on all the great work you’re doing!

rick: it’s all good. neither of us has had much time in our days. most days are a blur (and not just ’cause i’ve been drinking).
