No, it has nothing to do with the weird thoughts constantly swirling around in my head. Today, I graduated from Purchase College's Class of 2008, Cum Laude!! I can't believe how these past four years have just flown by. It seems like only yesterday I was asking the board for some advice on starting my first year, and I appreciated every word!
We had a great ceremony, despite the fact that we were in a tent outside in the pouring rain! Jeffrey D Sachs, Dwayne Croft, Jeremy Gerard, and a hilarious Tony Kushner all came to offer their words of wisdom while earning their honorary degrees.
So now I have to get ready to make the transition into graduate school, but for now I got to enjoy a wonderful day with my family, including a surprise visit from my grandpa from Florida! It's been a long but very big day...pictures to come this week, I promise! |

The lipstick & tiara are for the Ph.D ceremony, littlestar; my wife thinks I should accessorize with a thong and a push-up bra...  |

Thank you all very much! As promised, here are some of the pictures I've gotten back so far...
Little secret: That fine looking envelope is empty! Its rightful content won't be mailed out until July, so they can take it back if they change their mind
Under the leaky tent right after the ceremony.
At a great Turkish restaurant for dinner!
Just chillin' |
