FRIDAY / JUNE 27, 2008 / 12:05 p.m.
Graduation practice is complete, just hours to go for the big event. If there are any grads or parents reading this, the word of the day is PAUSE.
Take just a handful of seconds and look out at the crowd tonight. It’ll let mom and dad and anyone else get a good look at you. I know everyone is afraid of falling down the steps and the embarrassment that could mean, but have no fear the solution is here: Get to the edge of the steps, pause, look up and out at everyone and let them get their shots THEN look down to avoid tripping and falling on your face. Count it. One thousand one, one thousand two…
Take the time to let someone get some good shots of this, it’ll be at least four years before it happens again and more than likely mom and dad won’t get to come right up next to the stage to take the picture, they’ll have to pay your college’s photographer.
Speaking of right up front, the school has taken a few seats out of the front two rows and made a little photographers/orchestra pit; there should be plenty of room for people to come up and get their shots and make way for the next parent – hint, hint.
Here’s hoping for a nice cool night.
Maybe more later….one last reminder tomorrow Saturday, June 28 at 2 p.m. the Haynes House of Hope ground breaking. For anyone not familiar with the site, I’d recommend carpooling – not much parking around and besides gas is $4.18 per.
