It was a Saturday soon to be the night of the Behrmann dinner when we went for a walk and saw this dog outside of Small World
before Ben and I went to Home Depot to buy propane from this man
only to return home and see that Jane's face has been painted
as I gathered together my formal shirt
and dressed for pictures in the mirror
and then outside with Suzanne
by the tree
before heading to the dinner where I saw Sandy Tait and Elena Uribe
and then Toshiko Takaezu and Emmet Gowin (one of the winners)
The next day, our coffee was accompanied by this dog
and the day after, I met Humper (Greg Humphries) on the way to work
and the next day, I warmed my camera with a picture of the table
and then took a picture of Lincoln Hollister
and a picture of J. Lynn Zimmerman when we met later in the day
and then came Jane's flute recital
After all of the events (including Vav Shabbaton), we drove to Philadelphia and parked the car
and headed to the terminal
where Jane bought this gum
as Ben posed for the obligatory phone booth picture (again with no changing room)
as we headed to the gate
before Ben began his excursion
and brought back food for Ben and Jane
as I recorded my boarding pass
and the receipt for the food
even as we waited
to go down the tunnel
and board the plane where peanuts
and diet coke were served
as Ben enjoyed his magazine
until Jane and Suzanne emerged
and Ben could pose with Franco Harris
and me with George
as Jane did the Steeler thing
before we headed to Budget
and this gentleman
set us up with this car
for the drive to King Edwards Apartments
where Suzanne emerged
and we saw Robert and Ann
and Andy and Debbie
as Jane made her face
before Andy and Debbie
and Norma posed
as various conversations evolved
before we noticed the salmon
and condiments
before Ben went off to take an artistic group of pictures of the scene

and the people
the wine
the furniture
Suzanne
and the plants
a stunned Jane
and some more scenery
with the occasional snow image
interfering with the flowers
before the snow
said it was time for me to cut cheese
as the dip was served
and Sally
joined Robert
to admire the asparagus
before we sat down around the table
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
joined me in conversation
as Ben took this sequence of self portraits
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||
admired the scenery
and Lulu took pictures
of the food on my neighbors plate
and then on mine
as the turkey
and the salad
and fruit salad
kept Ben
and everyone at the table busy
as we assembled pictures of Sally, Suzanne, Norma, Rita and Lulu
|

a picture with Suzanne and Norma
before the group photos of the assembled

The next day began at the hotel when Ben
brought this breakfast
and began to eat it
as I assembled my first plate
and he went back for seconds
inspiring me to put together this delight of oatmeal, melted cheese and hot sauce
before we brought breakfast back to Jane to eat on the bed
which inspired her to come down and assemble this breakfast
before we headed to Norma's through all the Race for the Cure traffic. Once there, we left again with Ben going down the steps
so that we could pass Lulu's
and go to Lucca's for lunch
bypassing Kohli
as I stood outside
to be joined by Suzanne
and then the women posed.
Once inside, RIta took a few pictures
as Norma
and Ben
admired the table setting
and this was the view on our side of the table
when the bloody Mary came
along with the wonderful spreads
for the bread
and then we were ready for main courses -- filet for Ben
lamb for Kim
pasta for Suzanne
as Jane and I split pasta and hearts of palm
before the dessert chocolate
and mint gelato arrived
and we realized we needed to flee to replenish the gas
here
and make our way to the terminal
and take the transit
to the terminal where this was the change
Ben got when he bought this water
and as we waited for the plane advertised on this sign
Ben modeled various parts on his hair.
