Criticism, lyricism, polemics, performance, and making change...all with mustard.

By, perhaps, coincidence, my wife and I have just returned from Cambridge, where we attended a 3 day intensive and exciting orientation for the Harvard Advanced Leadership Initiative, where I will be a Fellow for a year starting in January. See www.advancedleadership.harvard.edu for more. Your reminders of the College in those early days, particularly your homage to Trow, resonate strongly with me. The fellows across the hall at the top of Grays Middle were ultra prep (St. Paul's/Groton) and delighted, when they even took note of us farmboys, in checking us out for cornsilk. But, we learned to cope, after all.

Most surprising is that there is a kind of sadness or at least wistfulness that is a higher percentage of the feelings you express than I would have expected of you. Maybe I'm saying it differs from what my blog would be like if I had one. It makes me kind of wistful that I don't have one. See what I did there? I find your pieces all interesting.
