What can you say- thank goodness it is over! Mark passed with flying colors!! All of the questions during the talk to really good- he truly picked a great committee. We were all getting a bit worried when Jude and Mark stayed in the room alone for a good half hour after the presentation- but all for not when we learned Jude was happily reviewing the presentation with Mark.

For my part, I gathered and organized the refreshments. I had been planning what to bring for a good while- coffee and all the coffee supplies from Muddy Waters at Regent and Randal. Gourmet cheese tray from Copps- very nice presentation and delicious with fancy crackers. Got a creamer and sugar bowl from Bed Bath and Beyond- black plates and cocktail napkins from Party City. I will have to keep these in mind for the Dissertation :)

To celebrate, Mark and I went to see The Incredibles at Point cinema- truly incredible to watch- we can’t wait to see it again! We topped the evening off with dinner at The Olive Garden- a nice sampler of calamari and fried ravioli to start with. We ordered amazing skewers of beef and veggies for Mark and I got eggplant parmesan with a sweet ice cream drink. A great finish to a ceremonious day.
