It was a Monday and Coleen Murphy(Molecular Biology), Benjamin Baer(Comparative Literature), Martin Ruef(Sociology), Adriana Lleras-Muney(Economics and Woodrow Wilson School), Charles Fefferman(Mathematics), and Gilbert Harman(Philosophy) came to lunch Later in the day, Andy Plaks (East ASian Studies and Comparative Literature) stopped by and then Allen Grimm (Theater and Dance) came by to borrow some paperweights for their performance

Next thing I knew, it was again my birthday (or a celebration of my non-birthday for which the office produced this cake (also for Kris who shares my birthday) and then we had lunch with the Havurah at Lahiere's after which Leigh Schmidt (Religion) came by and Karin Trainer brought a present which Ann Haliday and Sandra Gillette enjoyed and later I had a chance to enjoy because I got to sort the pennies

The next day was the family celebration. When I came home, the decorations were set and I had received this nice card and brought home this book which was a gift during the day and so we were ready to occupy the table and start with the sushi which Jane took and enjoyed before I experimented with light and then took this self portrait and then captured Sarah and Ed as Suzanne posed as did Jane and Sarah and Ed seemed more interested in the food we had and that which had been imported from Zabar's and Penn Station (nothing better than Krispy Kreme's) along with the carrot cake for my birthday complete with candles (but never enough because of the fire codes) as Suzanne celebrated and I put on the substitute birthday hat so that the candles could be blown out we could admire the chocolate salami and I could have Krispy Kremes for my birthday
