I love my cellphone but oh you kid...

I have a great cell plan, 300 minutes, free data, free nights/weekends, the weak spot is that text messages are ten cents each. Now, I just don't use text messaging, my thumbs are only suited for hitchhiking, or operating the remote. Unfortunately, I suspect that the young lady that had my cellphone number before me DID use text messages. Or rather, her, ummm, suitors did. I get a GOOD MORNING message from some dude most mornings. I told him that he had the wrong number, but he cryptically replied "I AM SANTA CLAUS". This threw me for a loop... What if he REALLY IS Santa? My general policy is not to anger a guy who owns flying reindeer. But I digress. Today I got a 7am Saturday wake-up text message. I stared at it bleary-eyed for a moment, then burst out laughing. For once it might be worth a dime.

Endless speeches and video montages (Think vacation slides with no scenery). Five. Hundred. and thirty one. Students. Horrible mass confusion afterwards, took 1/2 hour or more to find her. Somehow people thought it was appropriate to have a family reunion for a couple hours in the damn hallway. We offered to go have a bite to eat but she just wanted to go home. A word about graduation celebrations. OK, I could see the flowers, maybe roses from a boyfriend. But somebody came in a Humvee limo, big long custom thing with about 30 doors on each side, or so it seemed. Personally I thought that was a bit over the top, what with a war on and all. But who am I to judge.
