Lunchy no. 2

3/10: The buffet bar fascinates — having seen it on prior occasions, but not daring to dash the order for fear of conspicuous grazing.

But, there you have it. On this day, reaching over the pasta bowl amidst the other buffet prepared salads, Adam French discussed the merits of writing on a daily basis.

It is a practice that each of us can benefit from, one and all.

Svenn Jensen pointed out the duration for accomplishment, the length required to publish real work in contrast to the postdoctoral process itself, which was something we all agreed with, that by the time you get comfortable in a place, it is time to move on.

Yes sir! It was another Ciriacy-Wantrup Luncheon, this time in the heart of the Women’s Faculty Club, and the three of us, Svenn, Adam and myself ordered from the buffet table, while Raphael Calel and Louisa Lombard chose directly from the menu. Svenn commented that nearly everything was perfect, with exception of the jello, which he felt was more savory than sweet. We decided to divvy up his portion, to give his tastebuds a rest, while not let go anything to waste.
