i am back, but quite weary. I had a great visit with charlie, marie and the kids - - even if i did use most of the kleenex in their house. As predicted, reunion attendance was awful...but the good news is we doubled our class participation. yes, three people showed up...a fourth had registered, but he never made it.

and a few others might have been hampered by the weather---so much rain that mass (and some other ne states) are under a state of emergency. But, as chuck pointed out last night, that wouldn't have stopped any harvard alums from making reunion.

Charlie drove me to the airport at 6 sunday...in the pouring rain. we drove past BU's grad site...those poor parents! spending over 100k on a college degree, and getting drowned on graduation day.

the penn graduation was super---the weather shifted and we had sun for the second half of the ceremony. It was good, but loooong, as they read out all 800+ MBA names. Thank god we didn't go to amy's ceremony, there were 1200 names there! (i mean, it would have been very nice to see amy---we did see her mom and grandparents and uncle, but 1200 names!)

the drive back was fine, a few spits of rain, but clear for the most part. Lots of folks on the road today - - - The rest stop (chesapeake house) was filled with multi-generational groups. Perhaps more grad attendees????
