On Monday, Ed Nelson from the Math department came to visit.
Tuesday began with a visit from Wole Soboyejo (Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering)
and then I was off to class to take a picture of the students and our visitor Eric Zaziski ('09), Sherry Zhang ('09), Jonathan Lange ('09), Amy Hollinger ('09), Mary O'Toole ('09), Elizabeth Dilday ('09), Christine Kim ('09), William Dixon ('09), Leslie Berger (Guest), Peter Hand ('09), Aishwarya Sridhar ('09), Karl Yoder ('09), Jessica Grody ('09)
After class, I came home where Dan
and Syl soon arrived
and heard about life from Ben
as crudite and nuts
cheese and dip appeared
before the main course of potatoes
vegetarian main course
salad
beans
and roast beef
appeared so that this was Ben's plate
and this was mine.
After settling, Dansyl in their room
with this bathroom
before returning home where Jane
and Suzanne
were happy to see Janet and Larry arrive
and have Janet
pose with Suzanne
before Janet sat down to set
with Jane
Larry
and Jane and Larry
as dinner conversation continued
and Janet
and Larry
seemed happier because they were well fed.
On Wednesday, Dansyl, Larry and Janet posed in the faculty room
Janet sat in the provost's seat
and Larry and Syl stood by the president's place
before we went back to the hotel to see Dick and Fran who had arrived
and Syl and Larry
and Janet
Dan
and Dick
sat by the fire as I took these self portraits
before heading home to see all the food preparations
as Josephine worked away
before I went to Sarah's room to pick her up as she and Ed sat on the bed
and I admired the photos
and the packed baggage
before heading home to see one table set
and another in process
as the sweet potatoes (no marshmallows) were in preparation
as Jane
and Sarah
were watching the Gilmore girls as Ben
convinced Sarah that she should check email as she
Ben
Jane
Suzanne
and I
got ready to go to dinner at Lahiere's.
Once there, we ran into Caroline Clancy and Bob Barnett
before settling in to dinner. All were assembled on sides of the table
as Fran posed
and then Jane and I took this self portrait
as Ben read the menu
and Sarah and Ed
and Larry and Janet
enjoyed Dansyl's hospitality
as we perused the menu
and the vegetarian had time to take this profile shot
as the bread came
along with my martini.
This was the bread
and these were the appetizers

It was Thanksgiving Day, food was being prepared
stuffing was being assembled
butter was being melted
the parade was on the television
pots were being stirred
the refrigerator was full
in all directions
and the turkey was being unravelled
and decorated
and cleaned
and organized
so that the final product could be admired
along with the stuffing
and both tables
as Ben organized the silverware
and the turkey was ready
as the turkey stood guard
as other foods were cooking
or being prepared
as the bread crumbs
suggested it was time for the relatives to arrive
and come in
with the large smoked salmon
as Larry
Dick
and Syl sat
and Dick held forth
to Syl
Dan
Larry
and Dansyl
to enlighten the family meeting
as I took a few self portraits
and Fran and Janet
tended some pots
While this was happening, the Huang boys Jon
and Justin
had arrived, shirts were being distributed
with Fran and Larry posing
and then the candidate himself posing int he campaign shot that would have won it all
and Nathaniel arrived
as we bid farewell to Fran and Suzanne
and ran into Eddie
and his dad
as Jane and the Huang's
and then Jane and Justin
prepared for the football game.
Janet did a remarkable job of recording the football game
