- Almost sundown: going out with the lit faculty to Le Beaujolais in the Novotel. #
- Definite cons to walking to the NYUAD campus at midday: you don't realize how hot you've gotten until after you've arrived. #
- Last night: first community dinner (minus the 4 Eithiopians who were delayed). Now: first full faculty meeting Many firsts these days. #
- Though bits of my head and heart are still back in Abu Dhabi, it's good to be back in NYC where it is a beautiful fall day. #
- And 40 degrees F cooler than in AD! #
- NYC Pro: everything looks crisp in the fall air; actual blue sky. NYC Con: morning Manhattan traffic. #
