I Be Graduate

Thanks to everyone who took time out of their busy holiday season to help me celebrate my Master's. The party was fun! I arrived late and well on my way out of sobriety, so you know I was off to a good start. Food was awesome, wine was better, and of course, the people made the event.

Funny, about 15 people who said the were coming, didn't, but that was ok since 15 people who said they weren't coming, did. I think we had 65 or so but they came in staggered batches so it flowed well throughout the evening.

Leslie & Dave

Leslie and I have known each other for 22 years. We lived together back in the San Francisco chapter. I left California in 1989, Leslie followed quickly behind me, 10 years later. Ironic hat we both landed in Texas.


Oklahoma Mom & Leslie

Oklahoma Mom is also from the San Francisco era, again odd that she planted herself in Oklahoma, only 3 hours away. Oklahoma Mom adopted me after my parents moved to New Orleans ( I stayed in Ca. to finish university).

Real Mom & Washington DC Mom

Washington DC Mom has known me since I was 6, so at least 20 years! (snort). Our family lived next door to hers in Mobile, AL. She is also the real mom of my friend Suzy, who blogs "Sleepless in Babyland".



After the party, Highly Elusive Urban Tara and I went out with Cute Straight Boy. HEU Tara and I thought it would be fun to play a round of that very popular game, Shock The Straight Boy, so we took him out bar hopping, gay bar hopping. He was far from shocked, actually he seemed to enjoy it.

And I quote from CS Boy - "When the gays find your atttractive, thats when you know you're really hot!". Who knew we were the official hot-ness thermometer for all mankind? :)

I had a wonderful time. Too wonderful, I didnt get to sleep until 3am. Getting up at 7am to see everyone off to the airport was quite the challenge!

If I get more pictures I'll post them out to yahoo.
