It was Suzanne's birthday, so just as we have done in
2003
2000
and many years when we took no pictures, we celebrated.
Jane

Suzanne
IMG_0937
Ben
IMG_0938
and I
IMG_0939
enjoyed the shakers
IMG_0940
and bread
IMG_0941
at Big Fish as the wine
IMG_0942
came with salad
IMG_0943
and crumblies
IMG_0944
and Suzanne's fish
IMG_0945
and Jane's chicken Caesar
IMG_0946
accompanied Ben's burger
IMG_0947
and my pizza
IMG_0948
as the waitress
IMG_0949
showed the menu
IMG_0950
IMG_0951
but not herself.
As the meal progressed, we took more family photos of Jane

IMG_0953
Suzanne
IMG_0954
IMG_0955
Ben's head
IMG_0956
and Jane
IMG_0957
before capturing Ben
IMG_0958
and doing a number of self portraits
IMG_0959
IMG_0960
IMG_0961
as dessert
IMG_0962
and ice cream
IMG_0963
arrived and the Big Fish
IMG_0964
excited Ben
IMG_0965
Jane
IMG_0966
and Suzanne
IMG_0967
not to mention this self portrait
IMG_0968
as we then went to the movie
IMG_0969
where after some bumbling
IMG_0970
we found Lu and Weiss
IMG_0971
and so called it a celebration.
Then, it was back to work with people who were not invited to Suzanne's
birthday party. On June 29, I met with Scott Willett of HR
IMG_0972
and then on June 30, I welcomed new chairs --
Nancy Bermeo (acting in Politics),
IMG_0973
Lynn Enquist (Molecular Biology)
IMG_0974
and Claudia Johnson (English)
IMG_0975
before their terms began.
