Ithaca…
Though I don’t really live here these days, it’s really good to be around. It only takes a few hours to remind me how much I love the academic culture, and the sheer density of interesting, smart people on the south end of the third floor of Rockefeller Hall (not to mention this little upstate town more generally). Down in New York, I don’t have this kind of context on any regular basis, and it’s not until I’m back in it that I realize how much I’ve missed the people and the discussions.
