and father and daughter
pictures before a person passing by insisted that if we didn't
let him take this picture
of the 3 of us, Sarah would be traumatized for life by not
remembering who came to see her that weekend. His comments about
trauma caused me to take this picture
on the way home to make sure I wouldn't be traumatized by
a camera with a broken battery. Jane
was fairly incognito as she got ready to go to New York for an
overnight and so had to miss the visit to Sarah's room
that Benjamin
seemed to enjoy. After taking a picture of Sarah with
Robert Accordino, her RA,
we felt that the only thing left to do was to observe Sarah's
bicycle
standing regally in the rain and then declare Freshman parent's
weekend a success.
Later that day, Benjamin and I decided to brave the rain and go
to the Princeton/Colgate football game where we ran into Jon and
Jonah
and sat with them as we watched the cheerleaders
scream for the score
to change against an ominous sky. The little raiders
didn't scare the tiger
even as Mr. Number 15 practiced kicking
hoping that he'd get a chance to show his talents before the
game ended. He was a very lucky man because after blowing a
field goal that should have been a chip shot, Benjamin and I
showed them the way down field so that Princeton could snatch
victory from the jaws of defeat and snag a 14-10 victory.
Back at home, Benjamin was sorting pennies on the chess board
using the handcuffs as a prop for the obvious reasons as the bags
of recent decades
grew and we still needed to sort the silver
and handle the English coins
before we could head out to dinner at a new restaurant
appropriately chosen for parents weekend to take Sarah
to a recent in a distant town that had been recommended by
people who knew the area.
