Nicole's Graduation
Kristin, O'Reilly and Nicole Laskau graduated today from Ramapo College of New Jersey. It was the first time I had been at Ramapo in about 20 years and I was shocked at the amount of building that was going on.
When I went to the school we had to fight to keep it alive.
What a change.
Speaking of Change, here are some thoughts on GPS. I you cant convince a family to use GPS at a graduation ceremony, I don't you ever can. I dropped my wife and her parents off near the ceremony and then I proceeded to part the car.
When I got to the ceremony, My wife who I can pick out of a crowd pretty easily was part of the ocean of people.
Out comes the cellphone...
[Husband]
Where are you....
[Wife]
I am midway in the crowd
Where are you....
[Husband]
I am up on the grassy noll
Okay I am looking midway
[Wife]
I see you look to your left...
No thats your right
Now Look up... See me
I am waving the program at you...
see me...
good
Minutes later, the phones start up between my wife and Nicole
For this part I am only listening to one half.
[Wife]
Where are you in the line?
See if you can walk on the left side of the procession so I can get your picture.
Where are you now?
And then as the students parade in as they get to seats, the phones come out again.. Here I am only speculating.
[Student]
Mom do you see me I am the fifth seat in the tenth row behind the guy with red hair.
And this does count the conversations afterwards.
