Back from Providence: I got back from my Ivy+ Conference mid-day yesterday (a conference for people who do alumni relations at the Ivy League school plus MIT and Stanford). Upon returning to the office in the afternoon, I had a kind of "traumatic" phone call (e.g. adversarial ) with my graduate alumni advisory committee (boy was I glad to come come back to the office...not!) but then went to see a play called Last Sunday in June with Miss Emily. The play was wonderful-- funny, touching, extremely well acted.
