This was a week in my life -- some lunches, some meetings with faculty, Ben's birthday party at a Trenton Thunder game and the infamous Behrman dinner.
It began on Tuesday with lunch in my office with the artists who did the pictures

On Wednesday, I had a faculty lunch for
Aissata Sidikou-Morton (French and Italian), Su Fredrich (Visual Arts),
John Fleming (English), Molly Greene (History), Clarence Rowley (Mechanical
and Aerospace Engineering), Larry Bartels (Politics and Woodrow Wilson School)
and Jeanne Altman (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology). That evening, I took a
few pictures of Sam Levin's tallis
for Ben to use in his ancestors project.
On Thursday, Yoshiaki Shimizu (Art and Archaeology)
came to visit and then
I had lunch with
Jim Sturm (Electrical Engineering and PRISM).
On Friday, I went to computer science and saw Andrew Appel
before heading back home to get ready for the ball game.
The boys assembled before 6 and there were pictures
of Nathaniel and Joel
Ben and Sam
and then various groupings
before we made our way to the tree
and kept adding
until I tried to get everyone
to look at me
with limited success.
We drove on to the ball park
and the group in my car, posed first
with the car
and then with the sculpture
before doing some climbing
while waiting for the others to come and claim their pennants
which they did
just as the game was starting and Nathaniel
was wondering if he could throw out the first pitch before
we reached our seats where the Thunder staff
brought our food
and gave us each some food
which Bobby
dug into as the game progressed
and Ben
decided not to turn around for a photo op but Nathaniel
was willing to mug for the game camera as the play
continued to the amusement of our group
especially when Boomer came to our section

without his head folded back
and finally succeeded
so that I tried for Bobby and Eddie
and then Nathaniel
before settling for a self portrait
and an image in profile
which was pretty good. Meanwhile, the moon was up
and surrounded by bats (the flying kind) that cannot be seen in the picture.
The group watched
and Nate
moved out of the frame
as Joel
moved in and so, it was Nate in
and Joel in
before the game ended with a final score of 10-2 so that Bobby, Ben and Sam
could climb into my car for the trip home.
Saturday morning, I admired the tulips
before heading into town for this veggie burger
which looked better sans light
and then it was off to the bank where we met Kathy Ales
and then homeward with a stop to admire the Hummer
that was going to take the bride and groom away from their wedding.
Saturday evening, as Jane
and Ben
enjoyed the movie. Suzanne
and I
and Suzanne again
got ready not to play hoops
but to take the car
to the Behrmann dinner but not before Jane took these pictures of us
for posterity.
Once at the dinner, we met Eve Ascheim (Visual Arts) and her husband
and then
P. Adams Sitney (Visual Arts) and
Christine Stansell (History and Humanities Council) and
Froma Zeitlin (Classics) and Michael Wood (English); not to mention
Karin Trainer the librarian
and Bob Fagels (Comparative Literatures)
who posed with Karen and Bill
and then with his wife Lynne
who had put the whole thing together.
As we were leaving, I captured this picture of Eva and Lionel Gossman
who were happy to know they'd be on the web site.
