“I don’t care if it’s a sad good-by or a bad good-by, but when I leave a place I like to know I’m leaving it. If you don’t, you feel even worse.” —— The Catcher in the Rye
Kent almost chose vocal over chemistry as a career when he was in high school.
Kent looks forward to resuming running half-/marathons and resetting his PB (i.e., 21min 08sec for 5 k and 1 hr 38min for half marathon back in 2017...)
Kent used to run Ithaca 10K every year when he was a graduate student before COVID. This time, he also tried a London Mule at the Regent's Lounge (Statler @ Cornell) before the race.

“I'm sorry I told so many people about it. About all I know is, I sort of miss everybody. Even old Stradlater and Ackley for instance. It's funny. Don't tell anybody anything. If you do, you start to miss everybody.” —— The Catcher in the Rye
