TASP 2003 at UT Austin: The Mystery of Creativity



reasonably remarkable



Thursday, October 19, 2006
In the midst of procrastinating a lot of things - on an impulse I checked the TASP offerings for the coming summer, and look! Dr. Chapelle is back!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX!

today in New Haven:
* our regular yale-taspers-minus-adrian lunch; Alex pointed out the Barbara Herrnstein-Smith (I had to look that up) lectures happening, or about to happen, at Yale these days. Alex remembered her from the TASP readings.
* we were joined by a Cornell'04-tasper who was in my summer Greek class. Alex and Jacob stayed just long enough to be polite but soon abandoned me. It's been a rough afternoon. Walking back I was struck by the fact that Jacob and Alex have the exact same look on their faces when I talk as they do when this little girl began talking (and did not stop, not even to breathe).
* someone (Jacob) has a poem and a book review to finish for Louise Gluck.
