It was quite a night at Apple Valley High School. Aside from the store back I have this morning from sitting still in bleachers while 550 names were read it was a very well done. Best part, my good friends staging a secret reunion, there son home from the navy after three years managed to snake on stage to give her her diploma. She was surprised.
I won’t waste your time with descriptions, the pictures say it all.
Their Mom asked me to take some pics, and while I did, clearly I could use a better lens with a fast speed on it. But never the less, you get the idea.
I’ll add one more picture of our family celebration, low key as it was.
First of all the posters- You’re supposed to make a poster of your kids life up to the 12th grade. Mrs S took care of this rather difficult detail.
But even here, the best picture of our kid on another families poster- coincidently on the same girl’s poster I noted above.
All I can say is that it’s pretty fucking hard to be bitter and cynical with all of this shit going on around me.
But I do my best.


Your kid has (or at least had) good taste in baseball teams.
