Miho, our Admissions/Scheduling Director will soon be leaving us to have a baby (how dare she). Sunday was her Baby Shower--delicious food and elegant strawberry cake, and many adorable gifts for the expectant parents. The hosts, Charlie and Jane, have a lovely home that I was tempted to never leave. Minako told me that in Japan there is no tradition of a party for the baby before the birth. But in the U.S. there seems to be a party for nearly every occasion: Welcome to new job, Goodbye from old job, bridal shower party, engagement party, bon voyage on your journey somewhere new, Happy divorce party, anniversary party, house warming party, marathon pasta party, congratulations on your promotion party, etc. Speaking of parties, I am very much looking forward to Leah's party in June (Leah will be leaving Boston in September). Leah is having a Margarita party...I expect it to be a glorious festival of drunken delights.Monday, May 19, 2008
