Geeking out

Sort of an embarrassment of riches this week at UT Austin:
Tonight, I'm off to hear Mary Robinson speak at the LBJ School. [Free passes still avail. @ Union]
Actually headed for a brown bag session with her this afternoon. Not that I don't have a heap of work to do on deadline...
And, I just found out that MIT Econ Prof. Esther Duflo is lecturing on poverty and microfinance tomorrow on campus. [3:30-5 p.m. ACES Bldg., Rm 2.302, FREE]

O.k., well, it's exciting to a poverty and human rights geek like me...

Completely irrelevant to most of you, but...

It's snowing. In Austin.
It was 23C on Sunday.
And now it's snowing as I try to listening to a former U.S. ambassador talk about democracy and development in Africa.
I would rather be outside making snow angels.
