It was a faculty lunch with Jianqing Fan ORFE, Cristiano Galbiati PHY, Angel Loureiro SPA, Leigh Schmidt REL, Ileana Cristea MOL, Jean-Herve Prevost CEE, and Richard Miles MAE.

A few days later, Sal Rosario and Joe Delucia from OIT were here for a demo and I took their pictures. but the main event was the office's celebration of Kris and my birthdays and so cakes were presented knives were crossed and the cutting began and proceeded with the occasional blurry piece that kept us going as the cakes shrunk and more cutting and blurry pieces left us with even less even as the others in the office watched and ate their cake

before we realized that we need pictures of Megan McCourt (our newest hire) and later Tom Romer from Politics and Woodrow Wilson came by for a chat.
