Because I was packing and in the air over the Atlantic yesterday on my way to Toulouse, I only now had a chance to read Tyler Cowen’s wonderful reminiscences of our time together in graduate school and the people we knew. He has some very kind words about me, my daughter Diana, and this blog that warm my heart. Tyler also reminisces about our classmates Abhijit Banerjee, Steve Kaplan, Mathias Dewatripont, Alan Krueger, Nouriel Roubini and Brad Delong.

P.S. Reports of my death in the comment thread for Tyler’s post are greatly exaggerated.
