5/13: others eating ice cream

It used to be the case that at the last full faculty meeting of the year the administration arranged for an ice cream sundae spread.  That practice has gone by the wayside, so I thought it would be nice to shift the tradition by having ice cream at the last departmental meeting of the year (which was this afternoon).  I picked up a variety of flavors and toppings in the morning (after a good deal of himming and hawing and finally going to a second store for a better selection), and it made me really happy to see people enjoying their scoops, going back for seconds and thirds.
