Welcome to the world, children!
Well, this chapter is finally finished! I spent the weekend in Columbus, OH attending my son’s, Pedro, graduation from Ohio State University. It’s been a long, and at times, very arduous journey, but at long last, he has graduated! Now, he just needs to find a job. 
The graduation was not without a bit of drama, though. On Friday, I called him to see how he was doing and he sounded a bit down. I asked what was wrong. He said that he had failed one of his classes and would not be graduating, but that he was going to talk to his teacher again and his counselor. We canceled our flight reservations. Later on, he called back to say that the teacher had made a miscalculation in the grades and that he would indeed be graduating. Fortunately, we were able to get the same flights for the same price!
So, off we went to Columbus. As it is only 7.5 hour drive, all of the ‘jets’ between here and there are commuter jets, otherwise known as puddle jumpers. We flew from Charlotte to Washington, DC, to Columbus, OH and back again in jets that held approximately 48 – 60 people! Tiny little things. This evening was pretty bad as there was lots of turbulance in and out of New Jersey on our way back. It was a bumpy ride, but we are home safely and now instead of having an Ohio State student, we now have an alumnus!
Congratulations, Pedro.

Congratulations Pedro and a special congratulations to the parents!
I’m surprised Pedro did not teach you the proper way to refer to his Alma Mater. It is, THE Ohio State University … or at least that’s what the school wants you to call it.
My congratulations to Pedro and his parents. In his image there seems to be still a bit of the past tension.
Congratulations to the family! I know you are very proud of Pedro and, thanks to your great photo, I can see how happy Pedro is to be holding that diploma.
Wow, looks like a great ceremony! Here in Europe we sometimes seem to lack such a sense for celebrating “the real thing”.
Congratulations to everybody involved!
