Another weekend, another college graduation.
This time it was my youngest daughter’s turn to don a cap and gown (along with honors cord and study abroad sash) as she received her Bachelor of Architecture diploma from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
She appears on the far -right-hand side of this “action” photo, face hidden from view and arm extended skyward as she flung her cap in the air.
The actor Alan Alda was the commencement speaker. His grandson, Scott, was graduating from the school’s drama department. When I excitedly told both of my daughters that he would be speaking, they looked at me like I had two heads.
Alan who?
You know, the actor who starred in “Mash.”
Silence.
Boy do I feel old.
