On Tuesday, November 9, I had a faculty lunch
with Left to Right: Anne Case (Economics and Woodrow Wilson School), Amy Borovoy (East Asian Studies), Catherine Peters (Civil and Environmental Engineering), Alexander Nehamas (Philosophy and Comparative Literature), Robert Vanderbei (Operations Research and Financial Engineering) and Guy Nordenson (Architecture).
Later that week, I went out for scotch with Stuart Schwartz
and then on Tuesday November 16, it was
lunch again with
Left to Right: Gabriela Nouzeilles (Spanish and Portugeese), Samuel Wang (Molecular Biology), Martin Semmelhack (Chemistry), Olga Hasty (Slavic Languages and Literatures), Claire Gmachl (Electrical Engineering) and Sheldon Garon (History) as a prelude
to lunch on Thursday November 18 with the old gang from lunches at
Bellcore 10 years ago
Ken Steiglitz (Computer Science), Mike Honig (visiting Electrical Engineering) and Steve North *86.
All of this left me prepared for my trip to NYC on Friday November 19 for a
meeting at the Sloan Foundation. After the meeting, I met Suzanne and
we walked until time was running out and then caught a subway to the FCiA
where this collection sign
prepared us for our meeting with Michael D. Murphy
who told us about his website http://www.michaeldmurphy.com/ , served us
well and encouraged us to enjoy the meal. The table was set
to enjoy the bread
and my soup
as Suzanne had a nice appetizer
before her lamb
and my veggie dinner in darkness
and in light
appeared to be followed by salads
and the scene of glasses on the table
because Michael gave us a choice of wines. Suzanne's tiramisu
and my creme brulee
complemented the dinner as I took a picture of our neighbors
and Michael took this picture of us
before we began the trek back to our hotel.
Along the way, we passed shoe stores
and fresh fruit
and these cosmetics
before coming across more shoes
and dresses
with inspirational thought
as we discovered more show stores in the village
before finding this hand
that might be used to hit this punching bag
even as we discovered that the movie theater
was sold out so that we couldn't see Sideways.
Marching on past shoes
and Anthropolgie
and more shoes
we finally gave to the windows at Lord and Taylor
with explanation of Boston life
in view
and life on the Mississippi
and these scenes
of the Rockies
and these
of Nebraska
and finally these
from the Big Apple itself
before one last window
bade our farewell to Lord and Taylor
and we marched into Rockefeller Center
where these people
were taking a picture before the skaters
and carriages
and this star
with its story
that would eventually go on top of the tree. We went past the NYFD store
and caught a picture of Radio City Music Hall
before going back to the hotel for the night.
Next morning, we woke up with tired feet and went to a slowly
served breakfast where Suzanne
and I
had plenty of time to look at her coffee
and take artistic shots
with the water
and milk
before my syrup
and her eggs
and my pancakes
came.
After breakfast, we made the requisite stop at Krispy Kreme
to sample their wares
before getting on the train and taking these signs
that gave the rules.
