Congratulations!

Instead of attending the big (read: insane) commencement ceremony on Saturday, A. chose to walk in the precommencement exercises for his college today.

Boy, two years passed much faster than I imagined...and eek, I've only got one more year to go before I'm in his place.

How accomplished he looks.

Anxieties and surrealism aside: I'm proud of him. There were some long, difficult nights and weeks on the road here, but he made it (and magna cum laude at that--"made it" is an understatement).

Good job, to you and to all graduates.
