Reunion Weekend

Just had a fabulous weekend at my Alma Mater, University of Rochester (NY). Not only did more than 70 class members show up but also great program speakers: Anderson Cooper and Stephen Colbert. When I wasn't catching up with old friends, I was walking around campus in the cool, fall weather with tree colors all around. Some of the program highlights in addition to the two mentioned, were a session on New York State cheeses complete with samples, another on Darwinism by Allen H. Orr, award winning evolutionary biologist, and a great panel discussion with classmates on retirement: how to plan, what works, what doesn't, etc. Given the current economic times, it was quite interesting and helpful.
