11th
Lester is graduating. :) Next Saturday, exactly a week from today. I haven’t gotten a chance to speak with his partner yet, but I’m sure they’re getting along like peanut butter and jelly. Lester always was quite the schmoozer.
My last picture of my boy, taken the morning before we drove him back to Oregon for advanced training. He looks all grown up, doesn’t he?
It’s all actually a little bittersweet for me. Next Saturday, I’ll be on the other side of the country, in Maine for Pop!Tech 2008, where I’ll be speaking and simultaneously launching my startup. I was actually trying to see if I could somehow fly back to Oregon for graduation, but there’s just no feasible way to make it work. On the one hand, it’s a huge honor to be invited to Pop!Tech and incredibly exciting to things taking off for Vittana, but I would’ve given my left kidney to see my old boy one more time.
One of these days, hopefully.
