I hope your classes are going well too...and I await your return to SWEAT.<BR/><BR/>Tai, it's great to hear from you! I went to the Park today and am going to post a few pictures; the Kapoor Cloud Bridge/Bean reduced me to a giddy child. I did see a few Segwayists, who seemed to be doing their best to keep the most corporately-benamed park--a beautiful one, I must say--in meticulous order. I think the man you mention FORGOT that we *are* animals, but then the security people I saw were robotic in not only in their appearance, but in their responses...well programmed indeed (in deed)!John Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08073378940347627766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11122973.post-1127363018696040432005-09-21T21:23:00.000-07:002005-09-21T21:23:00.000-07:00your former students miss you too, john! especiall...your former students miss you too, john! especially when they spend a good 8.75 hours a day in an intellectual vortex. <BR/>on maintaining chicago order: (did i already tell you?) several months ago as i was walking along michigan ave across from millennium park, i passed a policeman on a segway who was furiously batting at a flattened cardboard box a man was curled up on, trying to push it under a construction barrier and out of sight. he was shouting at the man, "you can't just sleep on the ground! we're not animals!"<BR/>--apparently the perfect statement from a man riding around on a segway like some kind of postmodern centaur (& there are too many other things that could be said about that situation, i won't even start). i cannot shake that scene. <BR/>have a great quarter....<BR/>--taiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11122973.post-1127319201692152362005-09-21T09:13:00.000-07:002005-09-21T09:13:00.000-07:00Congrats on the beginning of your semester.
