bzarcherMmm. Good food and retirements seem to go together.
The Figges are retiring from the German department after 30 years of teaching here. Pretty much the entire faculty turned out for the reception, and I was surprised that both of them found me as I hopped around talking to some people to thank me for all the help I'd given them both over the last years there. And to think I came to thank them for all the things they'd done.
It's sad to think that they are going, but I also know they have earned their time in the sun.
I am also bouyed by the stupendously good berry napoleons they were serving. The bavarian creme had sliced blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries folded into it, with that awesome pastry around it, and garnished with both almonds and chocolate.
It was a good way to end a day, even if I did come back to work to finish some stuff.
