Beginnings

So this weekend, my baby brother, the last of five, graduated from college. It is the end of the era and a new chapter in his life and that of my parents. It was serendipitous, perhaps, that this great day coincided with my parents' wedding anniversary, an achivement in and of itself.

So you know when you handwash your unmentionables and you hang them in
a conspicuous place but it is ok because you don't expect anyone and
it is only for a little while? Then your neighbor knocks on the door
and you forget?

Yeah.
