Overs

I put on Simon and Garfunkel's 'Bookends' to listen to while doing some administrative TA duties. When the song Overs came up I was instantly brought back to Carlson Science & Engineering Library at the University of Rochester, third floor, shelving books in the mathematics section.

There are a lot of songs/albums that I connect with times and places and periods of my life, but I didn't know until now that Simon and Garfunkel was connected to my time working in the library shelving books.

I think I spent two or three months listening almost exclusively to them (I had all their albums, and Paul Simon's solo albums, on one HI-MD minidisc), and at that point I only really extensively listened to music while shelving books, so it does make sense.

I have other photos of Carlson, but the only one I have up on flickr at the moment is this one:
