She has a big honking smile because she saw the book I was holding that was covered with a paper that said, in huge letter, "PLEASURE READING".<br /><br />Also, at that moment Dr. Skelley, who is doing the hooding, was reading the tiny message on my mortarboard. It was on a mailing label, large enough that I knew he would be able to read it, but probably not anyone else--he read it audibly and chuckled: "CLEVER REMARK GOES HERE".<br /><br />And the coup de grâce: I got Dr. Rose to give me a pound before the handshake. I "exploded" mine, and his was a standard fist bump, but I would say it was an successful attempt at adding an appropriately discrete amount of silliness to the overly somber proceedings.Mark Meadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10817693050522650364noreply@blogger.com
