Lori had the baby about a year ago and I had never met him. The older one I hadn't seen in two years. Cincinnati golden arch bridge. School got out on Thursday the 27th of May. I flew to Alaska the 28th. I came home June 1st. I flew to Kentucky on June 2nd. It was a real whirlwind of traveling.

Yearbook

Graduation

I went to convocation for my Master's Degree today. It is a good feeling to be done.

New Orleans

I went to New Orleans with a colleague from the university. While I was there, I went to the aquarium and found Nemo and Dori.
