Saturday 22 August
We hate to admit it, but classes
begin on Monday. Kathleen
alleviated the angst (slightly) by throwing a party for the whole department
and its friends and connections at her and Steve's house, where we could sit
out on the back deck, chat, sip wine, watch the sun set, and pretend that
summer wasn't over.
Food was provided by Funky's catering, a rather unfortunate name for a solid service. There were brimming platters of grilled
vegetables, salads, hummus, Israeli couscous, "South African ratatouille"
(with cinnamon, apparently), a chafing-dishful of chicken breasts, and good
sliced flank steak in tomatoey sauce.
There were desserts, too, but we
mainly missed them. It was that good a
sunset.
