Jose escaped the tortures of high school last night. It was surprisingly well run (other than horrible parking) and went very quickly considering there were 450 graduating seniors. Ironwood Ridge holds their ceremonies outside on the football field so we were all bracing for a sever roasting, but we were blessed with widely scattered showers over the mountains, an overcast after about 3 pm, and the temperatures were outstanding - something like 75 - 80 with a nice breeze.
I haven't heard an official count, but both sides of the football field have stands and they were full. Some of the track also was covered with chairs, too. Apparently they plan for 7000, and that sounds reasonable from what I saw.
The whole gang from Tucson (except Chach) made it to the ceremony and got to see Jose in a tie, no less.
I'm in Tucson until Memorial Day - then back to South Carolina for a while. Congrats to Maigon on the new job. Tips should be pretty good down there! Teri, I'm not even going to ask why you drove from Portland. The golf deal sounds pretty darn good up at the country club.
And finally - Erik - why don't you post more? ;-)
