Shirley and I attended the opening dinner for hall staff this evening in the North Dining Hall.\u00a0 Rectors, assistant rectors, student resident assistants, and the staff of Student Affairs were present.\u00a0 The Lyons Ladies (and their faculty residents) follow tradition and dress for special events on black and gold, the hall colors.\u00a0 Shirley matched the ladies with a LBD (little black dress) and gold necklace.\u00a0 I wore a black jacket and slacks with a gold shirt, black tie, and gold pocket square.\u00a0 As usual, I was a thorn among the roses. I will post a picture here soon.<\/p>\n
Most major items we need for the residence are in place.\u00a0 There is one issue and that is our cat, Squeak.\u00a0 He is extremely ill and is suffering from a liver infection.\u00a0 He is extremely weak and is not eating or drinking.\u00a0 We hope so much that he can accompany us to Lyons.\u00a0 The next several days will tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
