Pomp and Circumstance

It was a great day yesterday as thousands of students graduated around our area. I was at Fairhaven High School as my son Doug graduated. It was nice to see everyone there in their caps and gowns.

Dr. Robert Baldwin gave a speech and asked how many of us had graduated from high school. He then asked how many could remember what their Superintendant had said that day. No one could of course. He reminded the students that what was important was who was there. Family and friends and how they are always there for us.

I wish all of the grads the best of luck with their future endeavours. This is not an ending but a new beginning and let's see where the road leads.

Bruins! Woohoo!

So Game 1 is tonight and the fans are coming out of the woodwork and.....I don't have a problem with that. I know that some people get upset with the "pink hats." Some fans don't like those that jump on the bandwagon, but I'm okay with it. The more the merrier!

Bruins jerseys, hats, and tshirts are flying off the shelves, statues in Boston have shirts on, anywhere you can put a logo you'll see one. Even the ducklings at Boston Common (the Make Way For Ducklings statues) are decorated.

I think it's great. I salute the fans that were there through the lean years but let's all have a good time!
