Would you call at your convenience? I'm having trouble reconciling your
figures with Tom's.

Subject: [SEELANGS] Na zdorov'e

Greetings!

Just having returned from a trip up the Volga that included many toasts all
of which were offered by university graduates, I feel impelled to report
that Na zdorov'e not only dominated, but absolutely excluded the Za Vashe
zdorov'e alternative.  When I asked, I was assured that one could also say
Za.etc

Pity. Za.etc sounds better.
