The start of semester brought forth another faculty party and so the bar was step up in our newly rehabilitated kitchen and the flowers were suitably arranged as was the tent with tables set so that food from the buffet

could be put on the available plates and served along with libations to drink even as prep work went on in the back kitchen with lots o butter for the lobsters who were to be cooked in these pots and it looked like there were enough lobsters to make things work even as the flowers were decorating the buffet table. This was the cake for Mary's October birthday.

We took an adult education course to celebrate Peter's birthday and this was the dessert in darkness and in light. We stopped at Jeff's house after dinner with Ben and recorded Silas Reiner '06

It was freshman parent's weekend and while walking around the Whitman courtyard, Ben and I came across this wonderful collection of chicken wing bones. Back at home, we took these pictures of Ben and his room mates Alexander Shahin, Daniel Jang and Kevin Larkin.

who were then joined by Meaghan, Kevin's sister

This was the first official picture of the kitchen wall of photos as we set off on our Sunday walk and say this sign before running into Peter and Seva with August at the playground where August spent some time with Suzanne in the sandbox and then did many rounds on the slide

after which I took photos of squirrels, alive and dead.
