end of an era

Friends Antony and Jag are picking us up in a few minutes to go to MIT for my retirement party.  Mixed feelings, of course; the end of an era for both of us.  (Gay has also been teaching here, as an instructor in the Writing Center, for thirty years as well.)

I'm not "retiring," as in going fishing forever; I'll still be writing full time.

Here they are.  Will write about it tomorrow.
