Graduation Redux

Although Mike actually defended his dissertation last summer and his degree was awarded in the winter, he officially participated in graduation last week.

We had the whole gang in town [my brother isn't in this picture, but he was here, too].Mike wore a fancy dress to the department ceremony on Friday.Afterwards, we had a little party. Mike again modeled his dress, and Meredith tired to guess how much it cost if you wanted to buy it (hint: MUCH more than you think).Saturday we had planned on going to the big university ceremony in the football stadium. But the graduate decided he would much rather go to the park and have us all spend time together than have us sit apart during a 4 hour ceremony. So a picnic in the park it was!And then a very nice dinner down on the water.

Cool outfit, Mike. Just remember to wear it all the time when you teach next year. The students really respect that.
