Big Day

Well, I guess I have to blog today of all days. A-'s graduation ceremony begins in a little more than 3 hours. No more finals, no more rehearsals. He gets to wear a special stole for being in the National Honor Society and two other cords for other significant accomplishments. He's excited. His family is excited.

I'm cooking all things A- likes: grilled Turkish spiced chicken, parslied potatoes, blueberry muffins, brownies and ice cream, and spinach. (Well, OK, I'm the one who likes the spinach. But A- doesn't really like any vegetables so I figure if I'm cooking...)

At the grocery store today I overheard two ladies talking. "He'll be in the 5-day 4-year-old class," one said to the other. She didn't realize how fleeting such conversations are. She'll turn around only to find her son walking across that stage at Merriweather Post Pavilion.

Don't it always seem to go...
