I don’t necessarily recommend becoming an orphan, but since I don’t have a mother anymore and there in no mother of my children out there (that I know of, anyway), it at least gets me out of the whole Mother’s Day thing. But to those of you who are mothers, Happy Mother’s Day. Hopefully your day will be as nice as the one they’re predicting for us today.
Of course the other big thing is that it’s Graduation Day for SU (yesterday being Convocation Day). And this year, a fell by the name of Michael Jordan is in town to see his daughter graduate with a degree in Sports Management or something. Apparently this guy Jordan played some minor league baseball 20 years ago with the Birmingham Barons and Scottsdale Scorpions. Oh, I think he played some basketball, too.
No doubt there will be some moms in attendance today as the mens and womens NCAA lacrosse tournament starts up. Both our guys’ and gals’ teams are #2 seeds this year – the boys having had a bit of a rocky path before turning their season around (even if they lose the ACC tournament championship to Notre Fucking Dame), while the girls have been good all season, losing to only one team (Maryland, who is the best team in the country, twice).
Oh well, time to finish my coffee and then finish cutting the grass.
