Yesterday evening, [Meara->] graduated from Churchill High School with honors. Emily, Abby, and I went down for the ceremony, and cheered loudly for Meara when her time came. The girls actually seemed to have fun, which came as a bit of a surprise for me, since graduation ceremonies in my experience tend toward the tedious except for the few short moments that your loved one is in the spotlight.

Congratulations, sis! You’ve done good, and we’re selfishly glad that you’re not ranging too far afield next year!
