1. East and West Germany will meet on economic issues.
2. German foreign ministers will meet with other foreign

Plans for this month:
* organising the PANSS tape (and thinking about off-site support)
* finding and retaining a man who can pass the "breakfast" test
* workable solutions for qa problems with respect to courseware
and other materials developed by non-athena personnel
* shoveling out my apartment
* considering moving the rest of my furniture (and books,
and tapes, etc.) back into my apartment.
legend: * = "in progress"
+ = "in 'bureaucratic-wait' state"
