So tonight two very good things happened:
1. My little sister graduated with her GED.
2. Carolina beat Boston giving the Pens home ice advantage in the next round.
Kara’s graduation ceremony was very nice. I was very touched by their commencement speaker. I didn’t get his name, but he is an acclaimed poet who earned his PhD from UK and grew up in the projects in KY. He told the story of a woman who got pregnant at 15, and by 27 had 8 children to look after. She earned her GED and then went on to nursing school after working to earn that first degree. He told her story because she is his mother. He stressed the importance of the GED not being the ending but just the beginning of wonderful opportunities to go further in education. It was really very nice. Kara is currently enrolled in classes online and I’m very proud of her.
*Hockey talk: I don’t want to go on about this for forever, but holy crap- Boston got kicked out tonight! I’m glad about the Pens getting home ice advantage, Cam Ward is hot, hot, hot. I hope he is worn out and we get up on the series early on. We’ll see—- after all this will effect the Las Vegas wedding plan, or will it??
*Musix Talk: I could go on forever about how awesome Cracker is-but let’s be real- there just isn’t enough space or time. Sure enough though, their newest album, Sunrise in the Land of Milk and Honey, is sooooo goood. I really hope to catch them on tour very soon.
Well I’m going to hit the hay- I have lots of research to do tomorrow… and maybe some shoez to buy.
