F came out from Chicago for his brother's graduation. We went out for beers and giggled, and F enlisted our aid in a truly marvelous prank to be played on a mutual friend. Details will be revealed when the job is done. He's one of the strangest and funniest people I've ever met -- time spent hanging out with him is basically a string of silliness punctuated by the occasional pint. Not many people can make me laugh and joke around at 7:00 AM.

(note: F != fishfoo. Hi, Fish!)

Hi, Fish!

Hi, Molly! (I'd guessed it wasn't me, since I don't live in Chicago any more... and my brother graduated from his Boston-area college some years ago. Very boring. I played cards through the ceremony, since we couldn't even see the podium.)

bup!

And also since I didn't go drinking with you last night. Though if you do come up to Boston, pints are on me.

I hate those gi-normous graduations. If the people are just tiny dots pooling at the bottom of a stadium, the whole ceremony feels like wasted time.

bup! drinky!

I didn't go drinking with you last night.

True. Sad. Though I did have a pint of Guinness, wa-hey! (Strictly against my new diet, but, but, but, it's Guinness! That makes it okay, right?)

Graduations themselves are something of a waste of time. Even the small ones are just long tedious lines and massive growling hordes of parents all waiting for the photo op. Wouldn't it be easier just to have teensy ceremonies, with each graduate advisor (or dean, for those students without advisors) running their own ceremony? Maybe not -- there certainly would be less spectacle. But it'd take less time

fish is an old salt
