It was a Sunday night in the fall and time for the chairs and cabinet party, so we had the tent up and I got dressed for my self portraits and then went downstairs where the buffet was set and the foods were prepared with some watched pots and materials to wrap the leftovers amidst the containers and lemons and limes for drinks as the cloths were there the tables were ready for standers and the tent finally looked reasonable as it shielded the bar with a few outside tables and the heater that we decided not to use all around the decorations and the porch bar that got few visitors though a good time was had by all (or so they said).

Back at work, I had a fruitless retirement conversation with Jacques Fresco (molecular Biology) and a more productive one with Willy Childs (Art and Archaeology) before Friday came and Scott Kenney came for lunch with Sandra as Bernie Heykel came for lunch with me.
