that's some big storm!

Last night there was a big storm East of Denver, or so I'm told. That's important to know for this post.

Presenting:

"The Conversation I Overheard on the Bus"
UK title: "The Great Battle of Kansas vs. Nebraksa"

brought to you by Danielle & Co.


The cast:
Bus rider 1 (we'll call him Edgar)
Bus rider 2 (let's say he's Harvey)

Setting: on the Stampede bus. at 7:30 am.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Harvey: did you hear about the storm last night?
Edgar: Yeah. I used to live in Nebraska, and we had bad storms out there. Usually the ones that started here in the mountains and worked their way out East.
Harvey: Yeah, I used to live in Kansas, and we had terrible storms!
Edgar: In Nebraska, you'd wake up at midnight and not be able to go back to sleep because of all the lightning.
Harvey: In Kansas, you'd wake up at 2 or 3 am every morning and be kept awake by the storms.
Edgar: The lightning in Nebraksa was really bad!
Harvey: the lightning in Kansas was hellacious!
Edgar: Well, in Nebraksa, at the ranch where I lived, it was so flat, and there were no trees, and the lightning struck a ranch building and burned it down in two minutes!
Harvey: Oh yeah, well in Kansas, they did an actual study of the topography that scientifically showed that it's really and truly flatter than a pancake!!! A pancake has more hills and gullies than Kansas!

The End.

daaa da da da daaaaaa da.

That was the "Pomp and Circumstance" Theme, in case you missed it. (How could you miss something like that. Wasn't it obvious???)
Today 6,000 students received their degrees from CU. The graduation procession walks right past the library, and every year I get to see them in their robes and caps and (in the case of grad students)...hoods.
And you know what I can't help but think of? That next year, that will be (Lord willing!) ADAM! And next year, I'll be the photo-crazy family member holding back tears. And hold back tears I'm sure I will! I've been working hard to put this boy through school! Almost as hard as he's been working on his degree!
Boy oh boy I'm excited for next May!!

Whew!

I would just like to say that my Mr. has finished his most challenging semester of school ever! Three recitals, a class, teaching, working AND....he still has a 4.0!!
Ohhhhhh how I adore that guy!
