Li interviewd me on Friday for the department "oral history project" that Leda is spearheading this semester (mentioned in the comments to "Ghetto Talk"). I'm not sure where it's going, what the plans for it are, but it was an opportunity for me to reflect on what I perceive in terms of present department dynamics and speculate with Li about possible meaning(s).

In my abnormal way, I woke up this morning thinking about it. :-)
