I knew it was going to be a good day when my windsor knot came out straight the first time.
The commencement was very nice. It seemed deeply befitting that Professor Pinkowitz, whose open-house mock lecture back in 2007 inspired me to attend Georgetown, hooded me at the ceremony.
Both my parents and my wife's parents drove down to attend, and I'll remember their enthusiasm long after I've forgotten the details of the event. We left the reception a little early and spent a thoughtful afternoon at the National Gallery of Art. A few cab rides later, we enjoyed a great dinner and some fantastic gelato in Georgetown. And then through some surprising good luck in both timing and cash-on-hand, the #31 bus took us all away from campus for the last time.
Lots of symmetry today.
