HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIANA
Lelly's 28th
Here are some pics from Lel's two B-day parties. One in a bar and one on a roof.
Good morning. And then -- as those younger than myself often assert-- there are "totally random" photos sent my way. I think I know where the photo was taken. Who took it? Who is this student? I am never exactly sure. People are forever taking my photograph. On the bus. In line at the grocery store. You name it. Students are still taking photographs of me -- with their mobile phones -- during class. Snap! Snap! Snap!
Annie Bright home in Birmingham, England. Last summer. Chiara held the camera. Bianca sat by her side. I did my very best -- with only moderate success -- to direct Jane's attention toward the camera.
