Graduation Happenings – Last weekend, The Wife, The Brother, Mom, and me traveled across the state to watch my niece graduate high school.

Like her brother, The Niece’s ceremony would be held at their stadium. Outside. In the Florida sun and heat. We bought a couple of those seat cushions with backs instead of sitting directly on metal bleachers for hours. What we didn’t anticipate going over was where we would be sitting was in the direct path of the setting sun. This meant a quick trip to the Walgreens for some umbrellas to act as parasols.

Still, for all the heat and discomfort, it was great to see my niece walk across and get her diploma. And I got a nice compliment on my kilt.
