Well, my eldest son has finally graduated, Magna Cum Laude none the less.  He was always smart but this time he has outdone himself.  He is going on to graduate school, but instead of going from his Bachelor's to his Masters, he will be skipping his Masters and going onto his Phd.  Apparently it's a lot .cheaper to do it that way.  So I  am so proud of his accomplishment, he pretty well did this on his own.  With the help of his former girlfriend of course.  She egged him on when he would say that he can't do it.  I think he did as well as we could expect, excellently!!He graduated from Hunter College on May 27th and the speaker was Wynton Marsalis.  A very warm and personal speech, and they announced stories of their top ranking students as they spoke their names.  I thought it was an interesting way to do graduation.  It was very different, and the lines of students filing through the aisles of Radio City Music Hall was an ongoing surge of humanity.  I thought it would never end.  So many people looking proud on such a day and with older students graduating as well.  It was a very heartwarming ceremony and I'm glad to see my son beaming himself.  We went out to a really nice vegan restaurant afterward and everyone left full to the brim.  So it was a pleasant afternoon/evening with my family.
