Graduation 2020

I attended my oldest granddaughter's high school graduation this evening 2020 style.  Which means that I watched her walk across the stage and receive her diploma from the comfort of my recliner.  The Sal and Val gave short thoughtful speeches, there wasn't a processional and the whole event was over in an hour and a half.  One of my favorite parts was the graduates' selected quotes which were projected on a screen as the graduates came up to get their diplomas.  They ranged from quotes by St. Teresa of Calcutta to lines from Harry Potter and Star Wars.  Some serious, some funny.  It was nice to have something to read.  I was a little surprised that only one quote was from the Bible since this was a Catholic high school.  My granddaughter's quote was from the movie Finding Nemo.  "When your not sure what you're doing or where you're going, just keep swimming."
