Graduation!

Not mine, but Madalene’s. She’s finally done, and will be awarded with a Master’s in Biomedical Engineering today. Her parents are in town, and about to arrive at the house. Thus begins a day of ceremonies, celebrations, and strange looking gowns. Masters graduates have to wear this odd hood-like thing in addition to the standard adornments. Its so odd that we aren’t even sure how it works. However, I’m sure there will be people at the university who can help us figure it out. Its funny, I consider myself to be a reasonably intelligent and resourceful person, and Madalene is graduating with an advanced scientific degree, but we still got stymied by the hood. Its a sobering reminder that as smart as you think you are, someone out there has something that will stump you good.

Ok, time to go. I hope it doesn’t rain today.
