a lot

There was a lot going on since the last time i wrote down anything. and ...there's still a lot going right now.
but yesterday...with all those businesses going on, i was kidnapped to visit one professor with another professor.

Jon Rice. 86 years old. taught Architecture in ISU for 40 years....his students including Mark E. Mitchell S. Jason B etc. etc. he now lives in those nursing apartments with his wife. we were told, 10 people die in that building every week.

This guy knows his time is near. although i do hope that he has another few years of life. It's true we are all lucky.

so we are chatting. we talked about things going on in CoD. and i saw the 86-year-old professor teared down.  skipping the detials. this department was once ranked 5th in the nation, but did not even made into top 20 in the recent year. what was happening in the past 10 years?

Jon shared chocolates with us. nomnom chocolates. on the box, he crossed the coconut filling chocolates cuz these are the ones that he doesnt want. whats really makes me sad and started to think a lot was that the once honorable architecture professor, most sensitive to forms and shapes, can not line up the chocolates with the cover according to their shapes.

we will all have that day. one day we will all fail to figure out the most common issues in our life.

i know i am visiting him soon. i am even willing to go down there regularly to talk to him if possible. I like people that are passionate, people that care.
