Relative Something

We celebrated Julian’s graduation in Chicago from the Illinois Institute of Technology in grand fashion over the weekend. The weather was wonderful and everything seemed to go just as planned and right on schedule. As I predicted, we ate more than we should, but each restaurant meal was its own celebration. Over the three days we accomplished a fine recognition of this education milestone. Cyndie’s parents said this was number 21 or 22 for graduation ceremonies they had attended for their children and grandchildren between high school, and the multitude of college degrees earned. My kids have 6 cousins on that side of the family, so if the grandparents live long enough, there will be plenty more high school and college graduations yet to attend.
