And a hell of a mother's day gift.

I will try, though I imagine explaining who you are will be interesting.
And yeah it was a great weekend for her, minus the heat exhaustion. My girlfriend and I put on a Mother's Day brunch at our place and it turned out perfect. My girlfriend is amazing at putting these things together. I'm good at cleaning...

BA in English. She started at Rice some 40 years ago, but then dropped out two years or so in. She then decided to finish it off just a few years ago, I guess for that sense of accomplishment. I didn't know how I would feel exactly when she graduated, but when it came I felt very proud of her. Now I understand why everyone makes a big deal out of someone else's graduation, but when it's you graduating and in the middle of the ceremony, you don't quite get (though you appreciate) why everyone is so proud. At least that's how I felt.
