The Gespass'es were in the city, so we took the train in and walked by the holiday windows of which this was the best
and then to the Rockefeller Center tree
and through the crowds
to brunch after which we recorded Debbie, Katy and Andy
and Jane and Suzanne
before I recorded this wonderful sign.
Back at work, I had a lunch for Joshua Kotin (English), Mark Brynildsen (Chemical and Biological Engineering), David Wentzlaff (Electrical Engineering), Marc Fleurbaey (Woodrow Wilson School and University Center for Human Values), Bob Tarjan (Computer Science) and Moulie Vidas (Religion).
A week later, I hosted a student lunch for Christian Rivera ('14), Arien Cox('13), Mary Irene Burke ('16), Cynthia Cherrey (Student Life), Tula Strong ('15) and Christina Chica ('15).
