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

and artwork and wood carved animal coffee table and decorated pianos and marbles and hands and arms and more glass and more art and an ostrich egg with the galaxy painted on it.

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.
