Farewell to my childhood,
Goodbye to my school,
Dressed like a professor,
I feel like a fool,
My mother is crying,
Dad straightens his tie,
Hello to the future,
I'm only eighteen!
Good bye to my childhood,
Farewell to my school
-- Garrison Keillor
The weather was mercifully bearable for wearing academic regalia, unlike past years.
And yes, my hat is a little too small. Next year, I'll remember to order a size 8 instead of a size 7 1/2.
A tip of the graduation cap to you, Doug!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to graduates, teachers and parents!
ReplyDeleteOff-topic: Doug, w/ your focus on David Wojnarwicz, I wonder if you've seen this before (just came across it at JoeMyGod, connected to the thread on Hastert's deceased victim): http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a693TT2YGI0/TPfCWjOxg3I/AAAAAAAAErs/PhYTYh4ygB0/s1600/WojnarowiczOneday.jpg
Uff da.
Yes, I'm familiar with that piece by Wojnarowicz. It informs all of the paintings in the series. I have been following the Hastert case, and I should post on it. I've been slow posting on the blog. Post-semester exhaustion has caught up with me along with a lot of post-poned doctor visits. I'll post something soon.
