Groggy, Slightly Damp Morning

Ian was up at 5:30 this morning. I got him back to sleep by 6:30 but then couldn't get myself back to sleep. Aaron had his last day at Zingerman's yesterday. He was done at 9 and then all of his coworkers took him to the bar for a grand send off. He got to bed about 2:30 last night so I'm letting him sleep in (and maybe sleep it off).

We have a big weekend. Today we are having my friends from school and Aaron's friends from work over for a BBQ. It's looking like the weather might just clear for a few hours this afternoon and evening and it's supposed to be a nice warm upper 70's kinda day. Rather nice of the weather to cooperate with my plans. Tomorrow is graduation. I decided that I was going to walk at the College of Engineering ceremony. As much as last year was just too much... attending both the University and my College's ceremonies, lunch with the Sec of Navy and a meeting with my benefactors... I didn't get to spend much time with my family and I was exhausted by the end of the day! So this year I was hesitant to do anything but I don't want to let the end of my school career go by without any note. So I'll do the College ceremony and we'll have dinner afterwards.

There was a big stink at UM about the University wide ceremony because the Big House is under construction (yes, they're expanding!) and the administration planned on having the ceremony at EMU's stadium. The students pitched a fit and so they are cramming a metric butt load of students, friends and family onto the Central Campus diag.

Ian's awake and playing with the mouse so before he messes everything up I gotta go.
