Me, Morgan and Maria. We clean up pretty well.
We spent Friday night and this morning in Bloomington, Ind. helping Maria's daughter Morgan celebrate her graduation Summa Cum Laude from Indiana University with a degree in economics and gender studies.
Friday night's event was the commencement celebration for students in the Liberal Arts and Management Program (LAMP), which is a very selective two-year program offered through I.U.'s Kelley School of Business for Liberal Arts majors.
Afterward, it was beer and pizza at Mother Bear's Pizza, which set me up for a fitful night's sleep sharing Morgan's twin-size bed with Maria, while Morgan took the couch in her somewhat stuffy apartment.
This morning, we were off to a reception for graduating students in the Economics Department where Morgan was surprised to discover she was one of only two econ grads who had been inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. I think she's starting to grasp what a big deal that is.
She decided to forgo the formal commencement exercises, which seem to be designed to generate income for Herff Jones through cap and gown rental.
Morgan still has one math class to complete during summer school before she actually gets her diploma, but this weekend's activities constituted her formal graduation from I.U.
Needless to say, Maria is enormously proud of her, as am I.
