It was Valentine's Day and Nancy's birthday so we had a small celebration
which distracted her
and then proceeded with our discussion.
On February 17, I went out into the hallway and ran into the
computer science crowd
Stephen Friedfeld (School of Engineering and Applied Sciences), Bernard Chazelle (Computer Science), Melissa Lawson (Computer Science), Larry Peterson (Computer Science)
and took their picture. Later I had a faculty lunch with
Left to Right: John Hopfield (Molecular Biology), Chiara Nappi (Physics), Hans Halvorsen (Philosophy), Li-Shiuan Peh (Electrical Engineering), Stephen Macedo (University Center for Human Values and Politics), Stan Allen (Architecture)
This all set the context for taking a day off and going to
Philadelphia
to see DrLen
who took me to his basement workshop
to see his size 6 machine screws
before I recorded some of his living room decor
and we drove in my car to park in Chinatown
where we fed the meter
and then walked to the restaurant
and had hot and sour soup
some with and some without pork and Singapore noodles
and a very good tofu dish
which made me happy
even in profile
so that we could head off to the Chinese pastry shop
which showed its wares
as I ordered this
and Dr Len had a second pastry
because we were inspired by the Buddha card
they gave us. Next we went to the Jewish Museum
to se the exhibit of Jewish boxers.
From there, we went to visit Burnell and Betsy who have a wonderful collection of glass

Back at home, Jane
John
Suzanne
and I
also in profile
ate tacos
for dinner.
The next day, we all went to On The Border where Jane and Ben
and Jeremy
the waiters
and Sarah
and Suzanne and I
were ready after a missed profile picture
to have a chicken sandwich
or two
or three
and enchilladas
with salad
and onions
and a quesadilla
before going to the juggling show where we saw Ed and his brother
and the whole Davisson family
before seeing Sally Steinberg Brent and Dan Brent
on our way out of Frist.
