Day #1 of the IDV Spring In-Person started too early and was rainy, foggy, damp, and cold (but a different cold from MN cold). Buildings on campus show signs of finally being resorted and one was finally demolished. One of my fellow PhD students, Dave, brought me back a Italian Harry Potter from when he and his family were in Italy this summer. Thanks Dave!
