02.14.05 It was Valentine's Day and Nancy's birthday so we had a small celebration IMG_0110 which distracted her IMG_0111 and then proceeded with our discussion.

02.17.05 On February 17, I went out into the hallway and ran into the computer science crowd IMG_0112 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 IMG_0113 IMG_0114 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)

02.18.05 This all set the context for taking a day off and going to Philadelphia IMG_0115 to see DrLen IMG_0116 who took me to his basement workshop IMG_0117 to see his size 6 machine screws IMG_0118 before I recorded some of his living room decor IMG_0119 IMG_0120 IMG_0121 and we drove in my car to park in Chinatown IMG_0122 where we fed the meter IMG_0123 and then walked to the restaurant IMG_0124 and had hot and sour soup IMG_0125 some with and some without pork and Singapore noodles IMG_0126 and a very good tofu dish IMG_0127 IMG_0128 which made me happy IMG_0129 even in profile IMG_0130 so that we could head off to the Chinese pastry shop which showed its wares IMG_0131 IMG_0132 as I ordered this IMG_0133 and Dr Len had a second pastry IMG_0134 because we were inspired by the Buddha card IMG_0135 they gave us. Next we went to the Jewish Museum IMG_0136 to see the exhibit of Jewish boxers.

From there, we went to visit Burnell and Betsy who have a wonderful collection of glass IMG_0137 IMG_0138 IMG_0139 IMG_0140 IMG_0141 and artwork IMG_0142 and wood carved animal coffee table IMG_0143 and decorated pianos IMG_0144 and marbles IMG_0145 and hands IMG_0146 and arms IMG_0147 and more glass IMG_0148 and more art IMG_0149 IMG_0150 and an ostrich egg IMG_0151 with the galaxy painted on it.

Back at home, Jane IMG_0152 John IMG_0153 Suzanne IMG_0154 and I IMG_0155 also in profile IMG_0156 ate tacos IMG_0157 for dinner.

02.19.05 The next day, we all went to On The Border where Jane and Ben IMG_0158 and Jeremy IMG_0159 the waiters IMG_0160 and Sarah IMG_0161 and Suzanne and I IMG_0162 were ready after a missed profile picture IMG_0163 to have a chicken sandwich IMG_0164 or two IMG_0165 or three IMG_0166 and enchilladas IMG_0167 with salad IMG_0168 and onions IMG_0169 and a quesadilla IMG_0170 before going to the juggling show where we saw Ed and his brother IMG_0171 and the whole Davisson family IMG_0172 IMG_0173 IMG_0174 before seeing Sally Steinberg Brent and Dan Brent IMG_0175 on our way out of Frist.
