This is the daughter of my oldest daughter who just finished the politics course in DC.

We atheists know where to educate our kids ;-)

Who I hope to meet some day is the 15th century clown that thought it would be a good idea to dress faculty in black robes and a black hat for an outdoor graduation in mid-May in the Sacramento Valley tomorrow AND Friday at 4 in the afternoon.

What really blows me away is the cost of all that. We just got a notice from a neighbor's daughter. I think it's called commencement notice or something. Just to obtain the cards, stationary, professional photographs and all that costs around $1000 (!) per kid and it is expected that their parents all spring for the full package. Couldn't believe it.

Of course, the other extreme isn't so cool either. A few days after I had received all the required blessings for my masters degree in engineering the "ceremonial matters" consisted of a bland postcard. It read "The printout of your engineering degree has been completed. Please pick it up at the administration building room 123 between 8:00am and

5:00pm". That was it :-(

Actually I prize my postcard, "The Faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Electrical Engineering has recommended you for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering", that was received a full two months before commencement.

That's what I want to know, too. She is a real beauty.

I'll tell ya -- if I was a much younger and she was a lot uglier...

I posted a picture of my daughter's training class photo at Congress a week or so ago.

You can't tell from that photo, because she always wears conservative clothing, but she has a body to die for ;-)

But all the beauty is inherited from my wife... I've already shown that I'm butt ugly ;-)

When I came to Motorola, straight out of MIT, Motorola had a training program that included getting a Master's at ASU on company time/expense.

So I went, clashed, asked, "When do you plan teaching this course on a college level", etc. Got credit for a lot of courses I didn't have to take (taught as undergraduate at MIT).

The only worthwhile thing was my Master's Thesis... first BiFET OpAmp design, EVER ;-)

The West Indians seem to like their goats curried in a roti (yum). One local place features goat's head soup, but only on Wednesdays.

Sure. That's why all the white shirts and ties are worn. At least in a lot of Engineering places.

But perhaps that's covered by "almost".
