What's in store

Our usual hairdo day and scenic drive, which our nonegenarian always enjoys when it's sunny; we manage it uneventfully. Party celebrating a friend's finished PhD, in the form of a backyard barbeque; she said it's been ages since she's had time and energy to entertain, so let the guests entertain themselves. Wonderful food, including some delectable desserts, a fine group effort; the evening stayed pleasant until late enough. A good variety of friends, despite one of her professor's grumbling about not many anthropologists being around for him to hang with. Strange remark to make to a couple of people you've never met; so much for highly educated people being classier than others.
