Super Fun Birthday #2

The day started out incredibly well -- NPR came on and the first words I heard were "President Bush has left the White House." For some reason there was a pause after that comment, then continued with his current location. It was a happy moment, albeit fleeting...for another 215 days that is.

In class today, we had a great guest speaker talk about the archaeology of burned bone -- may not sound exciting, but indeed it planted the kernel of a potential post-doc for Jaime. It was terrific. Picture below.

Then to dinner with Michael, Doug and Jaime. With a stop first in Niles to listen to the Oblates of the Blues (the band is composed of good friends, it was a great way to start the evening). Then to the Carriage House for a yummy dinner. We closed the place down, and the owner took us out to the gardens to see the grounds. Very pretty, a nice finish to a fun day!
