Graduate graduation

So, Bryan graduated from the UNCW MBA program this weekend, as did our buddy Derek.

(You can tell it's a good post when I start with the word "so.")

Despite the fact that this is our family's third graduation in Trask, it was the first one I've been to. I'm not a huge fan of attending graduations, either mine or others'. I think the title of the theme song says it all: "Pomp and Circumstance." I'm not a huge fan of either of those things, especially in conjunction.

But this was the best graduation I've ever been to, specifically because I took a book to read.

The ceremony itself was pretty standard fare, right down to the Dr. Seuss references in the commencement speech.

The other near certainty of graduation ceremonies is that people refuse to "please hold their applause until all names are called."

So, good post.

If you want to read something that's a bit more interesting, you can read my thoughts on the Halo: Reach beta over at the Star-News

Event of the Week:

In what should be an easy series sweep, the Cardinals play the Astros this week.
