Graduation

Michael graduates in a few weeks, I can't believe it.  The paper we have says that you should be there before 2 PM on the 16th because they expect all seats to be full by that time.  After that, we'll probably do a family dinner and then bring him to the all night grad party.  I volunteered for the first shift but will have him drive himself so he can come home when he is ready.  He'll have a few hours to sleep then I guess he'll get up to go to work and then on Saturday, we have the family party at Mom's house.  Michael also has a grad party to go to for our friends in Winchester on Sunday evening and then one (I think on Sunday the 19th) for one of his friends.  This is a busy time right now but I expect things to settle down quick by July.

Michael going to Ruth's Chris

The Dentist Michael is working for is taking his whole office to Ruth's Chris on Thursday.  Michael was so excited that he wanted to ware a suit with a nice casual collarless shirt rather than a tie.  He fit into the suit I was married in, though it was a little big.  He looks nice but his age hit me like a ton of bricks when I saw him in it.

I told him to watch everyone else for the proper manners but I forgot to mention that he should specifically watch the doctors for proper manners.  I hope he'll listen tonight when we try to re-share some basics now that he sees that he could embarrass himself and wants to avoid it.
