About 75 students and four faculty, Youn-Kyung, Erik, Sun, me and our great graduate student coordinator lead by Marty. We reflected on the year, had a complimentary repast of hotdogs (both normal and vegan) grilled primarily on one side by Richie. There was music and much rejoicing. I am posting a kind of panoramic picture of the circle with my LG On the right is Sun and to my left is Linda and Scott (I overheard Linda telling Scott not to look at me)

Informatics Rite of Passage for new graduate students.

Please visit http://www.alibris.com for out-of-print books. I found American Literature: a College Survey edited by Clarence and Flanagan, New York: McGraw-Hill, 1961. I was particularly looking for Tate's essays on Dickinson. - (edited April 22, 2007, 12:21 PM)

Weekend
Lo the connubial bliss bound by a metal ring--pictures taking from Brian and Laura's marriage fest--five insanely in-love couples merging their respective social networks on Saturday. I took two pictures--one of the cake and one of Laura taking pictures. The arrows on the picture of the cake show the pieces I had--kudos to Amy for being my wing-man. I would have gotten a center piece (only cosmetic icing) had she not anticipated the queue. The second photo shows (1) Laura taking a picture of my taking a picture of the cake (2) eerily the cake is in this photo as well.

An excellent website that does annotation. Here is an example of Dickinson's poem Because I could not stop for death - (edited April 22, 2007, 1:16 PM)
