"In his domestic administration my father had this system . . . to keep a journal and insert in it all occurrences of any note . . . A record very pleasant to look at when time begins to efface the memory of events, and very well suited to get us out of perplexity: When was such and such a thing begun? When completed? What retinues came? How long did they stay? Our trips, our absences; marriages; deaths; the receipt of happy or unhappy news . . . An ancient custom, which I think it would be good to revive, each man in each man's home. And I think I am a fool to have neglected it." (Montaigne, Book I, Essay 35 (publ. 1580))

OK, that's it for undergrad graduations

Paul Jr. graduated from ASU; the ceremony for his college was on Friday, May 15. So that's five undergraduate educations. Very proud of all five of these folks.

Kerry and Luis flew in for the weekend, which was a long trip and a very nice touch. We also attended Nedda's graduation ceremony on May 14.

House party on the evening of May 15 - nice turnout, very enjoyable time. We went to lunch at Richardson's on Saturday. A fun weekend all around.

Kerry took a bunch of photos over the weekend, but for now pretty much all we have are a few cellphone photos . . .

And now that I think of it, there have been six undergraduate educations, counting Patricia's nursing school graduation in 2006.

So below are photos from all six ceremonies, in chronological order (most current at top). Attendance = variable; only Patrick and me with 100% attendance.
