It's graduation time at NU. Graduations are making me sigh this year (I know, "poor me"). At Princeton Seminary's graduation, one of my good friends, Matt Stith, who walked this year, took a picture of his wrist. On it, he had put my initials in bold black ink as a sign of support and solidarity. He's so great. There was supposed to be three members of our championship Princeton intramural football team graduating with their doctorates this year, including me. We were all going to wear our Dexy's Midnight Runners shirts (Dexy's was our team name). Both Matt and Brent Driggers donned their Dexy's black under their newly purchased academic garb last May. It looked like a great day.
Here ends the pity party...back to my revisions.
