My last main group of college friends (Freshmen when I was a Senior) graduated this weekend.
Also, the first group of kids I coached (as 8th graders) graduate High School tomorrow.
Some of you don't know this, some have forgotten, but...I did not attend my High School graduation. It made for major gossip in a town of 600/class of 29. But it wasn't a big deal to me then and it isn't now. College was another story. My college graduation was a proud day for me. Regardless, I'm happy for all my friends who are and will be walking the stage this weekend.
Other news:
- I get to see (and meet) my favorite singer, James Otto live on Wednesday the 26th in Wichita. Hooray!
- I will have a lovely lady right there with me. Double hooray!
- Cubs still suck. Nothing new there. Negative-two hoorays!
- LeBron to the Bulls? Word is, it could be legit. See?
[Derrick just fainted; he'll be back shortly]
...sorry about that.
- One semi-promising job (if you can call it that) prospect. Details next week. Maybe.
- One coaching spot I'd really like has separated itself from the generic pack. Not that that means anything...

I didn't attend my HS graduation, either. I went wakeboarding instead :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm uber jealous that you're getting to see James Otto in concert. I'm DOUBLY jealous that you get to MEET him!!!
Glad to know I'm not the only one!
ReplyDeleteWhy jealous? Is it because he sorta looks a little bit like Jake? ;) lol
