The torrential rains and a day of warmer weather in @townofamherst.bsky.social melted the snow so we hiked the fields of the @umassamherst.bsky.social agricultural station. The produce is now gone. Back to revising an #orms paper, fortified with a latte, on agricultural supply chains.

It had been such a nightmarish week. Thank goodness that the homeless Brown alum was so observant and provided clues that helped to break the case. So much shock and pain now for the families, friends and academic communities.

It has been an incredibly difficult, painful week, and one that we will never forget, for all those in the Brown University and MIT communities and beyond. Alma maters help to make us who we are and, hopefully, for the better. Be kind. So many are hurting and trying to understand the unthinkable.

Before starting to grade the final exams in my Transportation and Logistics class @isenbergumass.bsky.social I took a hike with @hawkeceprof.bsky.social to Puffer's Pond in @townofamherst.bsky.social. The waterfall was partially frozen and two were playing hockey on the frozen pond with snow cover.

We met on a flight to DC years ago. We were seated next to each other in row 2 and could not stop talking. This top lawyer from one of the most prestigious firms in NYC every holiday season sends me a card to my @isenbergumass.bsky.social address. The wonderful friends one makes on travels.
