Grad reunion

Got a lot of necessary footage. None of my closest grad school buddies were at the first reception tonight but then they are all writers and the crowd was predominantly PhD students at the time. As a poet in the creative writing dept told me, leaning close to be confidential, "we writers are second class citizens among academics." Hear, hear!

But I had two good talks with professors here at the time, Barre Toelken and Ralph Salisbury, and chats with some grad students who remembered me. So far, so good. (No sign of "Sally" here yet. The big event, a dinner, is tomorrow.)
