Just Stuff

Well did I ever embarrass myself yesterday. Really it's funny, but I was sure surprised.

Evan graduates from high school this Friday (he tied for salutatorian - Yay Evan!!) and yesterday they held the baccaulaureatte (yeah, like you could spell it??). At his school, the graduates each ask someone to issue them a 2 minute charge, and I was honored by Evan to be the issuer. Before the ceremony, one of the dads said that he was afraid of getting emotional, and would need his wife to issue the charge if he couldn't continue. I said to Robin that I wasn't feeling emotional at all and that it was probably because I was accustomed to speaking in front of people. Well, it came time for me to go up there, and suddenly my throat closed up and I couldn't talk. I tried and tried to gain composure but couldn't shake it off. Finally, I pushed it down and started to talk, then I looked at Evan and I was choked up again. In the end, I had to start addressing the entire class before I could proceed.

Big tough no emotion man got humbled. Camille says I had better be just as emotional for her or it means I don't love her. Boy. I'm sure not looking forward to her graduation.
