03.01.05 On March 1, Ravi Sethi *73 IMG_0263 came to visit and took these pictures of me Dobkin1BySethi Dobkin2BySethi before we went off to an enjoyable lunch. Later that day, Mike Celia IMG_0264 from Civil and Environmental Engineering and Bob Vanderbei IMG_0265 from Operations Research and Financial Engineering came for chairmanly discussions. When I returned home, it was time to record my outfit IMG_0266 IMG_0267 IMG_0268 with my new birthday clothes and for Meredith to try to preempt her birthday IMG_0269 IMG_0270 by wearing the magic hat before Ben took a few pictures of the family room IMG_0271 IMG_0272 and we sent Meredith out, camera in hand, to record the duckling family IMG_0273 IMG_0274 on the steps and the massive snow statue IMG_0275 IMG_0276 IMG_0277 IMG_0278 IMG_0279 IMG_0280 in the back yard.

03.03.05 Two days later, on March 3, I had a faculty lunch for IMG_0281 IMG_0282 Left to Right: Jason Fleischer (Electrical Engineer), Kathleen Davis (English), Frederick Hughson (Molecular Biology), Sarah-Jane Mahieu (History), Miguel Centeno (Sociology and PIIRS), Paul Lansky (Music) and then came home for a picture of my new tie IMG_0283 as Ben decided to take a too close IMG_0284 and too low IMG_0285 picture of the owl which seemed to amuse Suzanne IMG_0286 as the end of the week neared.
