April 1st Snowstorm

It was no joke.

Déjeuner sur l'herbe

Déjeuner dans le Jardin du Luxembourg, avec Melody (et tout le monde).

American Gothic

I was on campus for Michael's talk and the fog came back.

Hyde Park Spring

Outside Ribs 'N' Bibs. The hood of the closest police car is smashed up.

Spring at the U of C

I was back in Chicago last week. It was good to be back. I'll be back again in two weeks.

Spring 2002

Roughly five years ago, during an unseasonably warm day sitting out on the quad, we watched a guy in a fox costume try to talk to girls. You can see the fox in the background of these very low-res photos if you look hard.

Full Lecture

There are a lot of lectures at the University of Chicago. That means some of them don't have as many people in the audience as you might expect, which can be a little embarrassing. But the Ian Hacking lecture yesterday, called "The Suicide Weapon", was a big draw. It filled Social Science 122 to capacity, with people sitting on the floor on both sides of the room, and some students in the windows. After the lecture some students just climbed out of the windows rather than leaving through the doors.

Springtime in Hyde Park

From our apartment, you can hear the aluminum bat making contact with the softball.
