The only bad thing I know she did was to get mixed up with me. I'm sure that'll come up on her FBI background check.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Well, time for the proud father to post. David did serve as St. Mary's Law Journal's common editor his last year. It's official now, he's graduating summa cum laude! Saturday will be a wonderful day for our family.

LOL, Ahvatsa. So David is modest as well.

That really is something, ain't it? Dave is the real deal!
Although this is a very high achievement, I'm not surprised. It's the nurturing nature of the PB forum that yields such results. We all have this potential...most of us just choose to remain average.
Right Sunil?

...meant to be a softball But, instead of tearing the pitch up, Sunil does the honorable thing and lays over it to protect his brothers. - He's still a freak

Wow with honors to boot! Impressive. Not to derail the thread but you want to hear something interesting? That girl I said I dated that graduated from Harvard Law was first in her class in High School and graduated with honors with an undergrad chemistry degree from I.U. She was one bright girl. But I remember on one of our dates she was fuming because Harvard Law turned her down, but in the letter it said, "However we may reconsider if your father would like to make a substantial donation." Within two weeks she was on her way. Funny how money makes the world go around doesn't it? She deserved to be accepted but it's a shame it came to money.

Well...Saturday was the big day! Now that the ceremony is over, I can concentrate on fertilizing, filling feeders, and culling LMB. I might study for the bar exam as well. Here is a shot of ahvatsa and davatsa, plus ahvatsa's lovely bride. I think I was the only person actually ready for this picture to be taken, but it'll do for now.  Here's one of my bride and I the day before graduation.

Onward and upward, Dave. I'm looking forward to the continuing saga as we follow your life accomplishments.

Al...nice work, man. Love the neckwear.

Congratulations, and welcome to the next part of your life. I think I was the only person actually ready for this picture to be taken, but it'll do for now. Oh, come now. Their eyes were open.

Great pictures! I would tell you how lucky you are, but I don't think luck had anything to do with it.

Thanks, guys. Yes, luck has nothing to do with it.
But neither does anything I can do on my own.
In a word, being "blessed" has everything to do with it.

Yep..Getting accepted into school and getting out are two great days in your life. Congrats! My advise, for what it's worth, is find someone in your profession that you respect and use them as a template and, if possible, as a mentor. Good luck ..du
