My UCLA Field Trip to the Aquarium of the Pacific
On early Saturday morning, while other academic economists are sleeping, consulting and/or thinking, I will be taking 34 UCLA Freshmen to the Aquarium of the Pacific. Why am I doing this? This is actually part of my teaching responsibilities. Do I enjoy doing this? We will see. There better be a Starbucks there. Is this why I got a Ph.D? Perhaps. At this late stage of my career, maybe this is the best use of my ample time. Why am I sharing this information with you? To convey that there is a cost of spending one's life in the sunshine. For adults who want to speak to me about economics issues, please look for me. I will be the tall guy wearing the orange National University of Singapore hat and walking slowly with my cane.
