Food for Thought (Literally)

John Spencer's lectures have kept the students chatting since he left. Exactly how it's supposed to work, like we planned it that way or something... He kindly talked to them and answered questions for 6 hours (this is a REALLY interactive group!) Clearly we don't pay him enough!

The pictures below are from our Ethics lunch at Tippacanoe Place (the Studebaker Mansion). Every year they give us our own room, invariably the former nursery.


After coming home for a bit of a break, we went to dinner with Doug and Jaime at a new restaurant in town called NOMA. Same owner as Siam Thai. Very fun evening, which allowed me to pay my on-going icecream debt to John.

For those who don't know the story -- several years ago we were on a hike, since named the "Wadi Kadesha Death March" in Lebanon, that was all downhill and pretty intense. Since I don't have depth perception, I had to follow behind him to see where to step. This was compounded by the fact that we were told it would be 3 hours - turned out to be 6 and no one had enough water with 'em - by the end I was a muddy tired mess with some pretty huge bruises to show for several missed steps. But alive. As payment, John requested two ice creams every night for the rest of his life. I'm a little behind in payment...
