‘Tis the season for summer cook outs and barbeques all across the Western hemisphere. Yesterday, I went to two. One at Drs. Pam Eddy and Dave Pape’s house in Williamsburg, and another at the home of John and Tammy Lifsey in Portsmouth.
The main difference in these events is what we call them: John and Tammy had a “porch party” while Pam and Dave had a “Higher Ed picnic”. These reminded me of the “BBQ” I recently enjoyed in Dublin that was hosted by Mike and Mai Murphy (I’ve posted photos of the event). My sister, Heather, came along with me.
On this particular night we were discussing our dreams of setting up a new research center. I’ll keep you posted on the progress we make with that.
Whatever the name and wherever the place, it’s nice to have friends to visit and to share ideas with!
