{ thoughts on a world of chance from David G. Schwartz }

Back in LA for the day

October 20th, 2004 by Dave

A very quick entry here, as I sit on the sixth floor of Bunche Hall on the UCLA Campus, my feet facing east (that’s funny for those of you who watch The Wire, otherwise, trust me, it’s funny). Due to a strange set of circumstances, I drove down here for the day, and am then driving back to LV tonight to hop on a plane for Mississippi, where I’m speaking at a globalization conference.

Anyway, I’ve spent most of the afternoon in and around Campbell and Bunche Halls, where I spent most of my time as a graduate student here (most of my time on campus, anyway). It has been great to catch up with people.

I will try to post a few entries from Mississippi, but that is entirely contingent on A) time and B) internet access.

Go Bruins.
