I had just returned from Dartmouth when I ran into Daphne Brooks and her mother who were beginning their celebration of Mother's day which set a theme for my weekend once I had gone to the new Japanese restaurant and had this lovely looking meal.

Our Mother's Day meal at Elements began with drinks of various colors and the bread service before our appetizers

and main courses were served

before this photo didn't work and then we had the waiter take our annual Mother's Day photo before bringing our desserts which we had no trouble finishing

Having successfully celebrated the mothers, I then hosted a luncheon for George Lederman '10, Steve Marcus '10, Will Fisher '10, Emily Barnet '10, Morgan Pecora-Saipe '10, Kathryn Bailey '10, and Jane Dobkin '10.

p And then repeated the experience the next day with lunch for Emily Thompson (HIS), Kelly Caylor (CEE), Laura Landweber (EEB), John Gott (AST), Mala Murthy (MOL), Mark Burstein (ADM),and Steve Lyon (ELE).
