Next I had the final lunch of the year with Ronnie Sircar (Operations Research and Financial Engineering), Kim Scheppele (University Center for Human Values and Woodrow Wilson School), Sean Wilentz (History), and John Kastellec (Politics).

and then I returned home to preparations for the C3 dinner where the kitchen was working as full speed

as the flowers were being set up and the favors were set. In the end, this was a flower arrangement and the living room table remained to be set as the rug was lying flat and so was Ben. But soon there were flowers and there was food and the tables were set and things were arranged in the kitchen for a remarkable meal.
