Commencement was a fun morning. I got hooded in Assembly Hall, where our wonderful basketball men play. I'm glad I walked the walk. A good way to mark the ending of a long road. Some guy at a party last night asked me, "What benefit does a PhD provide for you, other than those that are ego related?" I gave a response and then just spent some time nodding at the guy. Then he walked away. Hmmmm. Let's get another scotch, I thought. What a weirdo.
