On September 14, I went to lunch at Frist and ran into Stu Orefice IMG_0890 who runs the show. I was late for my chair's meeting with Kyle Vanderlick IMG_0891 of Chemical Engineering but met later that day with Dave Bradford IMG_0892 from economics and the Wilson School. On my way home, I stopped to pick up Ben at his Barclay Class IMG_0893 IMG_0894 IMG_0895 IMG_0896 IMG_0897 which was very charming though I felt like the world was somehow upside down if I was the one wearing a tie and jacket when I spoke to the man in shorts and there was Ben in a pinstripe suit dancing with a girl with white gloves. My! how the world has changed.

On September 15, this gentleman came IMG_0898 from the shredding company IMG_0899 and loaded the bucket IMG_0900 and raised it into the truck IMG_0901 but we could watch the screen and meters IMG_0902 and get a close up IMG_0903 as the shredding continued IMG_0904 much to the amusement of Lin, Sandra and Melinda IMG_0905 who watched as the meter IMG_0906 finally said that shredding was done.

A week later, I needed wisdom so I took a picture of the owl IMG_0907 before heading to the first faculty lunch of the year IMG_0908 IMG_0909 with Brent Shaw (Classics), David August (Computer Science), Maria Pino Martin (Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering), Susan Fiske (Psychology), Dmitri Tymoczko (Music), Robert Calderbank (Program in Applied and Computational Math, Electrical Engineering and Mathematics), and Angela Creager (History). Later that day, Kathy Rohrer brought Toni Morrison IMG_0910 down for a visit and took this picture of the 2 of us IMG_0911

The next day, Septmber 23, Christian Wildberg (Classics) IMG_0912 came to visit.
