CLASS OF 2014


Juris Doctor class of 2014We have come a long way from bathing Buckwheat Junior in the kitchen sink to this day. I apologize for not writing for the longest period since I began this blog but the exigencies of both graduating him and getting the garden ready for Opening Day were a higher priority. Today we will set things aright.

Graduations are a joyous occasion. We get to burn the credit cards and transfer him off the auto insurance. He becomes a ward of the state for all intents and purposes. Our bank account may soon actually float upwards instead of the incessant black hole of bills we’ve suffered for seven years.

Matt has exceeded our wildest dreams and attained four degrees. I admire his nose to the grindstone technique and dogged perseverance to attain this exalted accomplishment. I also wish I could figure out where he got the gene. I’m sure it wasn’t from me.

Cupcake and I can only wish him the best now that he is “done” and preparing to set sail in his new life. It oddly feels almost like yesterday that I was counting his fingers and toes and taking inventory an hour after his birth in 1988. Men do that. They want to make sure all the parts and pieces are properly constructed and the future trigger finger is anatomically perfect.

I would also like to thank the Veterans Administration for the Chapter 35 Dependents Education Assistance which defrayed the costs of educating him. It will be sweet music to hear when he takes cases pro bono for Veterans at some time in the future.
