Kenneth G. Wilson: Renormalized After-Dinner Anecdotes

This is the transcript of the after-dinner talk I gave at the close of the 16 Nov 2013 symposium "Celebrating the Science of Kenneth Geddes Wilson" [1] at Cornell University (see Fig. 1 for the poster). The video of my talk is on-line [2], and this transcript is more or less verbatim, with the slides used included as figures. I've also annotated it with a few clarifying footnotes, and provided references to the source materials where available. The talk itself pulls together anecdotes from various points in his career, discusses my own graduate student experiences with him, and finishes with some video excerpts from an interview he did in 2010.
