Will graduated just fine, and it didn’t rain. Phi Beta Kappa for the youngest… nice work! I certainly didn’t come close to working that hard in college, and having brains ain’t enough if you’re not prepared to back them up with effort.
Memorial Day was a quick trip up to Healdsburg to relax with family and swim, before returning with Ben for a nap while Brooke stayed for a funeral. I remain torn between the urge to take a nap myself when Ben sleeps versus the impulse to rush about and get things done that will not get done with him awake. Whose time is that?
Regarding the weekend, the travel was a bit much, but it all worked out smoothly, and I was even able to get back earlier, thanks to filling the last seat on the plane from Burlington to Chicago, and then sprinting through O’Hare from one terminal to the next to get on an earlier-still flight than the one I was supposed to get. Worth the run, definitely. Earlier in the weekend, I just made a ferry from Burlington to Port Kent… saved me nearly two hours overall! On a sidenote, driving in the Lake Champlain region is beautiful this time of year.
Also, all the Lone Tree business went well, and I even lent a hand, however briefly, to some porch reconstruction. It’s gonna be a great step.
