The next day was the main event at Miller Chapel and so Jane, Suzanne and Sarah posed and I took this self portrait before we recorded Jane's eye and shoe Sarah's eye Suzanne's eye and my eye when we spotted OtherJane arriving for the concert and so went in where we observed Ben sitting in a back row we we looked forward down the aisle to get the camera ready.

When it was time for Ben's choir to sing

and this was their first song ../../../Sabbat/2007/08.03-04.07AlbemarleAndJeff// and the music continued

before we took some more video ../../../Sabbat/2007/08.03-04.07AlbemarleAndJeff// ../../../Sabbat/2007/08.03-04.07AlbemarleAndJeff// ../../../Sabbat/2007/08.03-04.07AlbemarleAndJeff// and then some stills of the next song

and then we recorded video of Freedom John which had been arranged by Mr. Caldwell ../../../Sabbat/2007/08.03-04.07AlbemarleAndJeff// before some more stills

including the soloist, Jordan McKey, who sang I love the lord

as Ben remained involved with the choir

and we recorded some of the solo ../../../Sabbat/2007/08.03-04.07AlbemarleAndJeff// and the solist before the next song

as we recorded video of Sonnayela ../../../Sabbat/2007/08.03-04.07AlbemarleAndJeff// ../../../Sabbat/2007/08.03-04.07AlbemarleAndJeff// ../../../Sabbat/2007/08.03-04.07AlbemarleAndJeff// and I need You to Survive ../../../Sabbat/2007/08.03-04.07AlbemarleAndJeff// as the singing continued

and the program that told the choir to assemble to sign the slightly ambiguous Come and Sing (People who make music together cannot be enemies at least while the music lasts) which we recorded as Paul Caldwell's last hurrah at Albemarle ../../../Sabbat/2007/08.03-04.07AlbemarleAndJeff// which was met by the last hurrah of the kids leaving so that we could adjourn to the outside. ../../../Sabbat/2007/08.03-04.07AlbemarleAndJeff//

Once outside, we recorded the program as Ben reached out and Sarah joined Ben and soon Jane joined Sarah and Ben and Sarah, Ben and Jane posed

after which OtherJane, Wayne Meisel and Suzanne posed and OtherJane joined Sarah, Jane and Ben and then Suzanne joined OtherJane, Sarah, Jane and Ben and then I joined the picture so that we had a family portrait with OtherJane

before returning home to meet Jon Huang who was getting ready to drive to Maryland and he posed with Jamie though she was staying north of the Mason-Dixon line for a bit longer.

At this point, more serious cooking began as the tomatoes were prepared along with the salmon and the fried fruit and I gathered together the condiments necessary to make Mai Tais as we decoarated the breakfront and put the cupcakes out onto the decorated table with the vegetable dish and brownies in front of the beautiful flowers as Sarah posed with the other flowers and we moved the leaves and goldfish to places of honor as we set things up for Jeff's entrance with the birthday hat all ready to go. Ben was working on Rubik as Jane read email and the Snickers bars waited to go back to Brooklyn as Harry met Sally played on the DVD and back int eh kitchen, Suzanne prepared the lobster for this bowl as the greens were ready as were the mozarella balls and the nicely presented fried fruit while the leaves seemed to be getting closer to usage so that the napkins with silverware were necessary and the kite was hung. Suzanne kept preparing so that cheeses could be added to the leaves on the platter as Sarah smelled the stinky cheese and the platter was ready as was the pasta dish ready for the pasta and nuts were served to the goldfish as the main table was ready and the secondary table was lit and the endives were ready to take their filling as the chicken set but the Mai Tais were ready to be handed out when OtherJane arrived as the first guest soon to be followed by Jeff, Martin and Adam as Jeff posed with the birthday hat and Julianna arrived to pose with Sarah and Claudia arrived but chose to be incognito as the pasta emerged as Jeff seemed to be truly enjoyed his birthday as the now cooked pasta was added to the dish and the materials were being assembled for more Mai Tais as the table shone with food while Joel posed and then Joel took a bite as Jane posed with Sara Just Caroline Clancy posed with Betsy and Peter Brown and Julianna, Sarah and Jamie posed while this plate of food seemed to appeal to Jane as Adam and Martin posed and Jeff talked to OtherJane as did Val speak to OtherJane when the cheese platter cupcakes brownies and ice cream from the Bent Spoon were served as dessert.
