With the passage of time, I found myself celebrating 15.5 (or in dog years 62) with this Bloody Mary and watching someone else's coffee as Jane Ben Suzanne Ed Sarah and I gathered and had the biscuits followed by some appetizers and the main courses

before the candle apepared and I was called upon to do the responsible thing until it was out and I was officially a year (or .25 years) older.

Len Babby came by to be the first to sign the new retirement plan.

Will Fisher came by for help in subverting the law but I was unable to help.

And, I concluded the first half of the semester with a faculty lunch for: John Cooper (PHI), Niraj Jha (ELE), Alain Kornhauser (ORF), Toni Turano (DOF), Rachel Price (SPO) and Denise Mauzerall (WWS/CEE)
