Back to Memorial Field, but this time not for a football game. Garfield High School's Class of 2011 graduated Tuesday night in front of the south stands. The weather was chilly, but at least it didn't rain. And I guess they ran the ceremony as efficiently as could be expected for a large high school -- although it was pretty hectic at the end trying to get all the extended family and the graduate together for pictures and congratulations, before the grad night bus took off for places unannounced.
D returned home early Wednesday AM for a few hours of sleep, before heading off with friends to Vancouver to watch the Canucks play the Bruins in Game 7. On the big screen in the street - not in the arena. The game was disappointing for Canucks fans, some of whom decided to make up for it by acting like jerks. Devon got his first, and hopefully last, chance to watch cars being torched and store windows being broken. He called us as soon as he was back across the border to let us know they were fine and that there had been riots -- we hadn't heard. He was home by 2AM.
