Cailin, I picked up a copy of The Campus this morning (from the desk at Kenyon Arena where I went to walk because of the heavy dew outside) and read about the famous author with whom you "chatted" voiceless at the Middlebury Inn. The professor must have been Jay Parini? You were in exalted company, judging by The Campus article. You can look up Ian McEwan in London. Which makes me think - will we see you before you depart? Parting is such sweet sorrow, you know.
