It was Suzanne's birthday, so just as we have done in
2003
2000
and many years when we took no pictures, we celebrated.
Jane
Suzanne
Ben
and I
enjoyed the shakers
and bread
at Big Fish as the wine
came with salad
and crumblies
and Suzanne's fish
and Jane's chicken Caesar
accompanied Ben's burger
and my pizza
as the waitress
showed the menu
but not herself.
As the meal progressed, we took more family photos of Jane
Suzanne
Ben's head
and Jane
before capturing Ben
and doing a number of self portraits
as dessert
and ice cream
arrived and the Big Fish
excited Ben
Jane
and Suzanne
not to mention this self portrait
as we then went to the movie
where after some bumbling
we found Lu and Weiss
and so called it a celebration.
Then, it was back to work with people who were not invited to Suzanne's
birthday party. On June 29, I met with Scott Willett of HR
and then on June 30, I welcomed new chairs --
Nancy Bermeo (acting in Politics),
Lynn Enquist (Molecular Biology)
and Claudia Johnson (English)
before their terms began.
