Tomorrow I will not be here. Instead I will be at my son's graduation ceremony for his law degree. No need to reply. Just being proud. He worked his butt off.

Please pass on my congratulations to your son if there's an appropriate moment, Timmy. I hope it goes well.

Way Cool. Congratulations Proud Dad.

Graduation ceremonies are dead boring - all those strangers going up & being applauded. But, nothing beats the feeling when it's your own up there.

Cheers

Seriously, congratulations to your son - he must have had an uphill struggle with you to contend with!

Have a great day, but beware the traditional warm champagne!


For a' that an' a' that,
It's comin' yet for a' that,
That man tae man, the worrld o'er
Shall brithers be, for a' that.

Open your bible! Proverbs 15:20.

Hugs.


The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)
