see how crazy things are around here, i totally forgot to post that exciting announcement!

no, the alumnus of the year isn’t me.  it’s KEVIN.  the very first college he went to called him last week to say that he was “head and shoulders” above all the other alums they were considering for the distinction.

kevin claims he was picked because he’s one of the few who aren’t in prison.  i wonder if he’s arrested any of them over the years?

we’re going up to northern illinois on friday so he can get his plaque or trophy which hopefully comes with a large box of chocolates so we’ll be there for the college commencement.  i don’t believe i’ve ever been to a college commencement.  i graduated in december instead of in the spring and didn’t feel like going back to the U of I in champaign to go to the graduation ceremony.  i don’t know why i didn’t attend amy’s graduation; i was probably living in austin, but that’s not a very good reason.

so we’ll be spending the night with kevin’s parents on friday which will be lovely because we haven’t seen them in a very long time.

of course we have plenty of free time for galavanting all around the state.

but all the work will get done.  we had lots of help on sunday, and soon i will show you some of that hard work.

that’s all for this moment,

busy grace.
