It was the season of first days of school. We began with the sendoff dinner for Jane at Main Street with a toast and then a picture of the new college student and Ben and Jane posed then Suzanne and Sarah and David and Suzanne followed by a dark picture and then individual pictures of me Jane Suzanne Sarah and Ben as we studied the menu

The next day, we loaded up the car (in a heavy rainfall) and went to pick up Jane's key where we ran into James Lanzi of Public Safety before getting to Jane's room so that she could unpack a few things and then pose with Amelia and Lizzie, two of her room mates while Sarah, Ben and Suzanne posed in the room and we left Jane for Outdoor Action.

Before the next first day of school, I greeted Phil Johnson-Laird from Psychology in my office for a discussion.

Then it was time to revisit the tree for another first day of school Ben and Suzanne posed because each was starting that day then Suzanne and I posed and then there was the walk to the bus stop where Ben and Nate posed and on to the elementary school bus stop where I was still welcome where I saw Chip and Henry and Adam and Hannah as Hannah and Emily K. and then Emily K., Henry and Hannah were still willing to pose for first day pictures.

which led me to work where I met with Paul Prucnal and Stu Schwartz.

Jane's OA trip returned, so we loaded the car again and Ben posed with her plant as we made our way to brunch at Rocky where I ran into Stu Orifice and then we explored the room to see if progress was possible before James appeared to fix the beds and pose with Lizzie and Jane until we left the mess on the floor and headed off to the U store and back where we ran into Alan, Joel and Kara Straus before heading back to the room where the work continued and one by one by one the four room mates gathered for these pictures.

After settling Jane and visiting Sam's Club, we headed to Penang for Ben's first day of school dinner (slightly delayed) where these were our (very tasty) main dishes

and Ben made this movie of Suzanne eating with chopsticks.
