starting out

*This post will be entirely uninteresting. I'm including it because I feel like it's necessary to mark the beginning of my year with some occasion. This seems like a good mark from which to start.*

Graduation was a completely unexciting affair, as are most commencement ceremonies. The whole thing was mercifully short- we were done in less than an hour and a half. After the obligatory photographs we had lunch at Brio in Winter Park. Excellent food.

to prove that I really graduated, which may be a matter of contention in some of your minds, I provide the following:


Here I am with Edith before graduation started.



Scott and Kristina Clark came down for graduation and lunch afterwards. They brought me an awesome new wallet as a graduation gift. What thoughtful friends they are. They would have been appreciated sans gift as well, just so we're clear on that.

After graduation was over I visited Scott and Jeannette's for the last time so I could see the boys. Ryan is into play-doh right now, and my hands smelled salty for hours. I think I might buy some play-doh up here. I don't have a lot to do with my time.
