Wind

Another blustery Memorial Day weekend in Northern Arizona.  I always feel bad for the boaters who come to Lake Powell this weekend, because it always blows.

Note to self - don't have company on Memorial Day weekend: too windy for boating or barbecuing or anything outdoors.

Beautiful Day to Graduate

It's a beautiful day (cue U2 song) to graduate in Page, America.  No wind, warmed back up, but not too much.  I'm not too keyed in to the senior class anymore since I'm out of the classroom, band room and not teaching leadership, but I hope for those gracing the stage tonight that they are pleased with their accomplishments and if they know they've got  better, that they go DO better!

Congratulations PHS Class of 2011!

. . . and to those who graduated yesterday from Tse Yaato HS, I was especially proud of those of you who struggled in the halls of PHS, but stuck with it and finished what you started.  43 graduates form TY is a new record I believe and it was great to see 14 of you from the PHS Alt Ed program with caps and gowns and smiles - best of everything to you as well.
