Don't Hear that Everyday...

From an email from one of my colleagues:

Kevin, you are just not cynical enough.

That's funny.

Last fall, I was in a meeting with the new dean of our school of peace studies, or whatever it's called; it was a roundtable to get input from faculty on possible directions for the new school (Supposedly, that is.  I actually think the purpose of the meeting was to engage in some serious self-justification and internal political spin.  But that's another story).  After the meeting was over, the new dean made a bee-line for me, and the first words out of his mouth were:  "You're too cynical." 

I'm tempted to forward him the above email and tell him that he was wrong.
