Thursday May 19 began at the bus stop where John Shea and I decide to act like we were band performers much to the amusement of Emily and Ben before the bus came and I departed to catch up with Brad Barber, my former student, for a PJ's breakfast. I met with Doug Arnold that morning and hosted lunch for Jerome Silbergeld (Art and Archaeology), Chris Sims (Economics), Anne Marie Slaughter (Woodrow Wilson School and Politics), Toni Turano (Dean of Faculty), Tom Hare (Comparative Literature) and Satish Myneni (Geosciences)
