One day, Wallace Best, newly hired to Religion and African American Studies came to visit and the next day, I had a lunch with Esteban Rossi-Hansberg (Economics and Woodrow Wilson School), Christina Davis (Politics and Woodrow Wilson School), Avinash Dixit (Economics), Simone Marchesi (French and Italian), Lynn Loo (Chemical Engineering) and David Leheny (East Asian Studies).

And, the next day, we had a party for the department chairs and various administrators, so food was organized by Joy and more food was readied as the buffet was set the flowers organized the bar set flowers on the chess board and in the entry way as the stationary food was place and labeled (but largely not eaten)

and when people left, they were to take one of these lovely cookies. Unfortunately, many were left to adorn my stomach.

Patricia Williams came to visit many days later and we had a delightful conversation.
