EntertainWork Work It was getting down to the home stretch and so I had to do a few final aspects of my old job such as getting photographs ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0241 ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0242 of this paperweight that has been on my desk since Perry brought it back. But I also had a few tasks of the new job like meeting with Ravi Bhatt ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0243 and Martha Himmelfarb ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0244 before the celebrations could begin.

Michele ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0245 arrived first and was quite impressed by the bar ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0246 as Ken and Sandy ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0247 appeared in time for the hors d'oeuvres ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0248 served by our friendly waitress. ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0249 Meanwhile, back at the bar, drinks were coming ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0250 and Andrew ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0251 was enjoying his martini as Ginnie and Gerry ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0252 arrived in time for the vegetarian quesadilla ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0253 that photographed slightly better ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0254 with no flash. The skewered chicken ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0255 was a big hit except that no one knew what to do with the empty skewers.

Melissa made herself a cosmo ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0256 though there was some debate among those who watched ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0257 ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0258 about whether there was any alcohol in the drink.

As we were ready to sit down, someone took this picture of me ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0259 and then we were ready to assemble ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0260 for the first course ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0261 as the conversation amused people ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0262 ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0263 on both sides of the table even as we admired the glassware ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0264 set out. The shrimp cocktail ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0265 made Ken ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0266 think about asparagus ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0267 as the salmon ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0268 ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0269 chicken and rice ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0270 and ravioli ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0271 were served. Dessert ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0272 kept the conversation going ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0273 as cheese ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0274 and crackers (too light) ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0275 and crackers (too dark) ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0276 finished off the meal.

After the older generation left, Sarah's friends ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0277 and her ../../../Sabbat/2003/06.24.03DeptSupportDinner//IMG_0278 settled in to finish the food.
