Aah, the American Pain Society. Its name sounds so uplifting. It almost sounds like a group that can deliver pain, to your door! Couldn't they have named it "the Society for the Study of Pain" or something like that? The name is nice and short, though.
H, you'll have a great time in Boston. The last time I hung out there was in 1996, after finals, and right before graduation from college. But the Boston fans might be annoying, having won the World Series, Superbowl, etc. in the past year.

I just had to mention the article in the Telegraph a couple of weeks ago about the German unemployed woman. You may have heard the story (which is true, if the Telegraph article is to be believed) about the woman who was told she had to work in a brothel or lose her unemployment benefits. They legalized prostitution in Germany a couple of years ago; she was assigned a job in the brothel; if she doesn't hook, she gets no more unemployment comp! What a crazy system!!!
