I came to town early for the graduation exercises for both Sarah and David as well as for the upcoming wedding. The instructions for the 4:00 pm commencement were to be in your seat by 3:15 pm.My attempt to make the 5 minutes drive, leaving at 3:00 pm, to the event center turned into a traffic jam, filled parking lots, and stumbling into a faculty parking lot by catering services resulted in me finding myself looking for a seat at 3:30. I found one on the top row, with a view of the proceedings, that was only improved by being at the top of the staircase where nobody could sit in front of me.
Carolyn decided to stay at home; Squirt needed a nap. She got to watch the proceedings live on TV with a far softer seat. And David's name wasn't listed in the program, as he is officially graduating at the end of the summer term, staying on campus to work on a research project and present a paper at a convention in Las Vegas.
